I thought they also have like an Altezza SC300 or SC500 or something like that. Besides, American models only come automatic from what I've heard. WTF is up with that? I wish I had one, though. Those are some of the nicest cars I've seen from Japan.

Re: Is an Altezza the same as an is300

The Altezza uses a BEAMS 3SGE, which is of course an Inline 4 with VVTi, while the Lexus versions of the car come with either a 2.0 or 3.0 Normally Aspirate Inline 6.


That's the only key difference.
