Just spotted one of these last night and it looked great. Can anyone point me in the right direction ie. site that I can find out some more information. All I can find out so far is that they are a Jap import, run 2.5 twin turbo or 4L V8. Cheers Paul With S1 still for sale

The Soarer (as you've spotted) is only available in the UK as an import. It was produced for Japanese, American and Australian markets under both the Toyota and Lexus brands. Best bet for more info would be http://www.lexusclub.co.uk/ Cheers http://www.locost-racing.com Car No. 13

A collegaue at my office has one of these. They are either called Toyota Soarer or Lexus Coupe. I know there are a few varients including a Turbo & non turbo. Main dealers do get them coming through, Top Marques has loads normally, and my colleague is probably selling his in the next 6 months Steve

Thanks for the info guys. I was looking at this as a possible replacement to my S1, Sounds good on paper 4l V8 coupe but I think it is not for me. Paul
