I just think a Lexus is a big, soft, cushy, overly
padded and insulated vehicle. The antithesis of an
mx5, or Elise for that matter.

Having said that an Altezza IS200 with a JZ (Supra)
engine swap could be OK. Maybe. I like the chronometer
gauges. Otherwise...neh!

I used to work for Krukziener, he's variously had a
Bentley, Aston Martin, and more recently that flashy
red Lambo seen floating around the viaduct. I think he
prefers b-i-g p-o-w-e-r-f-u-l cars...

I've been borrowing a 92 soarer dohc 2.5 twin turbo. You can get those
tyres squeeling... once the turbos "eventually" spool up. The lag is really
noticeable with big parallel turbos - definately an 'anti-mx5' mobile. A
heap of torque though for pulling away from those hondas at traffic lights -
should you be so inclined... and very comfortable to drive in... if you keep
going straight ahead.

If his current practices are anything like his and some of his associates
past business practices, the junk bonds are just the tip of the iceberg!
