MrSypher Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 There might be, but I never heard of one.. I know Lexus is coming out with a 2006 AWD GS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 but you neever heard about the current model with 4wd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSypher Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 So what this guy is saying to you is that Lexus makes a AWD GS now?? I don't think so.. Maybe some guy did somekind of Hybrid conversion but I don't think it's factory.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 thats what i was trying to prove to him, but he is being in denial:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSypher Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Just tell him to prove it... Simple as that... But he just maybe confused, might have read about the 06 GS and mistaked it for something current... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT'S CALLED THE TOYOTA ARISTO 4.0IZ (I THINK) THAT IS A FACT PLUS I HAVE THE BROUSHURE TO PROVE IT. SHOWS ALL THREE MODELS, 3.0Q. 3.0V, AND 4.0IZ. IT'S PRETTY NICE. I'VE SEEN THE CHASSIS WITHOUT THE BODY. I BELIEVE IT HAS THE SAME DRIVE TRAIN AS THE TOYOTA TUNDRA. BUT BETTER BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN AWD OUT THERE. BY THE WAY, THAT IS A COP CAR IN JAPAN. -TWINTURBO619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never spell that word right. But anywho, i've posted five pics, one showing the brosure, the car itself, the drive train, the close up of the "awd" labeling, and the close up of the model number. Hopefully this will clear up some confusion. So remember there are three models, 3.0q, 3.0v, 4.0v i-four. Now smile =)~ -TWINTURBO619 P.S. and for the dood from management givinig me heat about the caps, no probs here... putting up the good news for my fellow aristo owners =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I agree there is the awd version and i think i heard something about 4 wheel steering and some other madness like rearview cameras and nav since about 97-98 or so it also aws available on the celsior also some kind of super car with a super price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
