Great find, I wondered for years if Clarkson had test driven a Soarer.

Glad he liked it, plus he has all the reason to like it!

Good car!

Enzo, the car is a Toyota Soarer imported to the UK from Japan. The owner or company that owns the car changed the Toyota badge to a Lexus badge just like how people do it here in Australia and other countries.

Love how Clarkson likes the looks and every thing else about the Soarer :-)

David, that's the one. The pictures were very good, wonder if the chap who posted it can post it again for the benefit of those who haven't seen it.

I seem to remember a top gear review of the sc430 where they said something to the effect of "its a shame this car doesnt live up to the standards of its predecessor..."
