1998 Toyota Soarer (a.k.a Lexus SC300 or SC400; I don't know what engine it has... )

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful car Lexus ever sold. They replaced it with a retractable hardtop abomination. So it goes.

Toyota and BMW were the last champions of the straight-6, but then Toyota jumped ship and switched to a V-6.

Sounds great, although I think I'd rather have the normally aspirated version, if they made one...

Makes you wish they put the gte in the SC300 too. That only got NA but I'm keeping mine NA because I don't want to spend a fortune haha.

lol,the 2JZ and 1JZ engines are legendary but i'd go with the 1UZ v8 off the SC400 because JAPANESE MUSCLE,and not many people work on them.

That is very true, I've never seen another 300 in person, the only other SC (other than a 430, bleh) I've ever seen was a 400 and they are very nice cars. The Lexus dealership was telling me today that the only other guy in the area that has an SC is a 300 with 30k original miles. If I ever find him I'm punching him and stealing his car because mine has 168k haha.
