Yeah it is imported into the US as a Lexus IS300, soon to get a new engine upgrade, so it will be a IS330 or 430, dont remember which.

in japan the altezza rs290 is sold with a beams 3s-ge engine that makes 220ps and comes with a 6 speed tranny. in the u.s. the is300 comes with the base model supra motor 2jz-ge with a 5 speed manual or a auto. the japanese altezza does not come with the turbo 3s-ge.
