Seems like a case of selective criteria to me. |

Haha, Thats hilarious, The SC300 beats that 'Riviera' hands down, its completely revolting in comparison - the styling of the SC inside and out is miles ahead of that... thing.  |

Yanks, what can you do.
I wonder if they think there are WMD hidden somewhere in the Soarer. |

I will give them credit when they can do their research properly, and not be bias!!!
They showed the picture of the engine bay, showing the 2JZ straight 6, 3 litre N/A, and called if a DOHC v6.
Show me the SC 6 cylinders V-range of engines, and I will respect what dribble this man can talk about.

Just checked his other videos, where he compares a buik to some other yank tank I dont have expertise in, and also a video about the leaks and wind noise from the buick, he forgot to mention the leaks and noises when comparing the buick to the lexus, oops.

Yeah, of course he's wearing a Buick Jacket, he's the one that posted the video, he's also the one that got payed to bullsh1t about the compeditor.
I understand the Japanese styling of the SC300 might not be for the yanks, and I understand the lack of interior room, because the yankies are all fat fockers, but tell the truth, and you will get more respect.

Notice how they spent most of the segment talking about the ficticious bad things with the Lexus than any good things with the Buick.. |

Same im 6'2' theres not a lot of room but i can still fit people behind me and its not like you would buy a coupe if you were expecting to ferry 4 passengers around frequently! I also dont like big cars that have been modified to have 2 doors so they can say its a 'sports coupe' that thing just looks wrong like a flying saucer 
Its up there with the worst piece of journalism i have ever seen no real comparisent just disadvantages of sc300 V advantages of Buick! |

Lets not forget that the Soarer was designed in California for the US market. Point is, its a coupe, and if you cared about the rear seats as anything other than a "I'll use em if I have to" thing, you wouldn't be buying one. |

I have had several different body types in the rear of mine; fat people, tall people, fat and tall people.. and noone has been unhappy with the level of comfort.
In all seriouslyness, when i saw how far back that guy in the video had his seat i thought "WTF?!"
