Looks like the Lexus ES300 with those rims or Mitsubishi Diamante to me because there are no window frame on the driver's window.

Yeah, that's the Toyota "Chaser", 2500cc VVTi engine w/ turbo. The factory stock model is already 280hp; but too bad it's only available in Japan.

Someone told me that they stopped importing Supras, Rx-7s, 300ZX's and MR2 turbos because they don't pass emmission testing. These cars are apparently still available in Japan.
