They're quoted at 1680kg
Only come in auto as far as i know, but that isn't really a hardship with the massive torque from the 2jz-gte. Im sure it wouldn't be hard to do a manual conversion, but for now I don't intend to go down that road with mine (6spd would be nice tho....)
Inside, the dash and console is similar to a celsior, ie: very toyota and a little dated, (but then so is the Soarer) - and of course very comfy and well specced - very luxo!
Outside they are pretty discrete, look a bit like an A32 Maxima/cefiro (you guys get them in oz?)which is great as it blends in to the traffic and draws no unwanted attention (just another family sedan at a glance) Having said that, they're only a set of tints and rims away from looking really sharp - they're still a very classy looking car
I havn't really thrown mine around yet (a bit pointless without an LSD!) so trac stays on, but it does handle well and drives nicely.
They are very similar to a Soarer to own and drive - bit more weight, bit more grunt and couple more doors!

Oh come on, how can you pass up that fantastic cup holder?
...and honestly, i dont think i am treating her too well =( Things keep breaking! I'm not welcoming the bill for new coil packs thats for sure.
I have managed to find a job that allows me to catch the train to the city though, so the money pit (what i call my significant other) is going to wait it out in the garage during the week.
