Alright, I'm going to be looking for a new car in the somewhat near future, and I'm very indecisive. I want some opinions as to why you chose what you chose. I have my reasoning for each choice, which I will list below. Thanks for looking and discussing!

98-05 Lexus GS series - aside from the obvious, the pros to this car are the 4 doors, the fact its still technically a Toyota and there are enough tasteful mods that I can do to it for a daily driver. The cons...can only get it in auto.

99-02 Solara - If I did decided to get one of these, it would become a 5S-FTE car. Its different and I like that.

6GC GT Hatch - no need to explain. tongue.gif

Solaras are nice cars in fact I ended up with the celica instead of a solara. Why not get a v6 5spd and then supercharge it instead of a 5sfe powered one?

This.

There is a TRD charger for almost every Toyota engine with 6 or more cylinders.

Its not like you can walk up to your local toyota parts desk and order one. Most are discontinued. Heck even the SC for my '06 tundra was discontinued. Ebay or 3rd party manufacturers is pretty much your only choice.
