My friend's old Lexus is on her 250,000th mile and still purr like a kitten. Still drive like it's floating on water.

But if you can't get a used Lexus, I guess Miata is a cool little go cart.

He said fun to drive. Aren't you supposed to be on some Lexus forum, talking about that IS350 your mommy bought for you?

A SC400/430 would be sweet if you found a nice enough one for sale. Always liked those cars.

You drive a Miata so you wouldn't understand. If you had a Vette you would.

No idea what this even means or who you are calling an immigrant. Your post makes absolutely no sense.

I like Lexus, but the ES and RX are two of the most boring vehicles to drive...

i like the idea of the miata (even though auto). It'd still be fun to toss around. I've also always really liked the SC400. A little work to the outside and it's pretty sharp.

Ya the old ES is boring as hell. I agree with that. The NEW ES is a different animal though, but he can't get one.

I disagree about the old RX being boring, I think it looks classic and it definitely drives fun.

Can you believe this is a 2005 car? Vintage. Looks like something Audi came out with last year. Lol.

Great handling and have quite a kick too.

SC300/SC400, yes.
SC430

I'd still go with the Miata/MX-5 though.

And every middle age mom on the planet either has one or wants one. They are not fun to drive, especially compared to the other candidates, like a Miata and Corvette...
