The LS sounds good - and that RX is raspy!

Is that Crown above or below what we have as the LS430 then? Seems a lot bigger

above I think!!! but they have never released it as a lex, and never intend too its legendary toyota model from the 60s... But i'm not sure if that is the V12 or not...

Think that Toyota Crown is this............2.5 turbo using 1jz-gte..........nice, most of the inside looks like a lex........

Heres the outside!

Hmm, that crown seems to well kitted out for 2.5 litre car.

i love this one

Yeah, that one's the daddy!............must be a 2004 car

Shame no one imports them over

You can see the Toyota Japan line up here : http://www.toyota.co.jp/Showroom/carlineup/ and a bit of the Crown history is here : http://www.toyota.co.jp/jp/tech/new_cars/c...tory/index.html

The Crown is used a lot as a taxi cab in Japan - possibly the reason Toyota hasn't released it over here. Bunch of different engines available on the online catalog though, running from what appears to be a 2.5 D-4 (diesel ?) for the Crown Athelete up to the what I think is the LS430 V8 (3UZ-FE ?) on the Crown Majesta (for £30k-ish !!!).

Looks like the Toyota Crown Majesta is at the top, using the 4.3l ls engine, the back of the car is completely diff. to the latest ls...................if i found myself with loads of cash this would be imported!!
