The photo of the bronze one is actually the same one that was on the Toyota brochure I had when I bought mine in Tokyo, even has the same alloy wheels on as mine .

Strange that the 1996 model has better engine reliability than all newer versions?

Isn't that when they changed the engine to the 3.4 from the old 3.0. Apparently the 3.4 actually has some power that was supposedly missing on the 3.0 - mind you all that performance probably comes at a price.

The 3.4 is a peach, you get more power than the old V6, and better MPG as well! Plus TRD do a bolt on supercharger kit for it as well.
