nope the Altezza was allways an Altezza, all the Lexus cars which at the time were under Toyotas management were based on the Japanese Toyota models
early IS200`s still had toyota engraved on the door glass !
so in theory the Lexus IS200 is a rebadged Altezza
but to keep the luxury side of Lexus up, more soundproofing, leather interiors, etc etc were put in for European and USA markets

quoted for truth. Plus for the 4 that Deano has mentioned above I know of a lot more than 4 that are being driven around at the moment with zero issues. All cars will have issues but you wont go far wrong with one of these.

Thanks il give them a try see what they come up with

Yes Stu I had to get an engineers report done,as soon as i mentioned lowering springs they said I needed it done before they could cover me so I had to drive the car to work with NO insurance to get the report done which I thought was a bit unfair but heh its sorted now

I was never aware that Lexus was a different manufacturing company. The car is rebadged Lexus for export.

originally it was toyota, but in later years it became a separate company all but still under toyota's wing,
the latest lexus models have no toyota comparisons, and are now sold as lexus in japan
