When it comes to wagons, I rarely like them. In this case, that Lexus is awesome! Better looking than their IS300 wagon.

I would not say it's that roomy as the STi wagon for sure but certainly looks better than a Prius for sure!


Tell me more about your s2000 for sale!
I checked out Lexus and Subaru on the same day and comparing space between a 2011 Impreza wrx and the 2012 ct200h, not much of a difference. I mean in somt aspects the wrx is longer in size, and by all means awd on the mountains is godly, but at the same time riding in luxury and comfort was some what more appealing. If you want to know more about the s2000, send me a pm (:

and that is a BADASS ct, I would love to make it something like that.

I concur, the only wagons I can find attractive is the STI - WRX, Mazda 3, ct200h, and the Tsx wagon. I was tempted to go tsx wagon, but gas mileage wouldnt be anything compared to this.

Ahhhh, now I understand, what kind of lexus is that? And also can you post the stats on your supra?
Its the new 2012 lexus CT200H a hybrid with the space of an STI wagon The supra is N/A 5 spd, with intake, exhaust and getting on maintenance. so 240ish hp? Ive taken it up 9 before, but with an open diff its just not as fun.

I've thought about it for a bit, but I think the s2000 would make a really good weekend car..if only I didn't have the Supra to toy around with as well. So yup, the S is up for grabs!
dang where do you work man, buying all these cars like nothing!
hahaha I had to finance it ofc, wouldnt have anywhere near 30k to just spend..

but then what becomes of the supra?
Do you drive the Supra on track? Your Supra would remain the weekend car & your S2K becomes a dedicated track car for HPDE events. Meaning you can non-op it, it probably wont be street driven nor will it be as pretty as you could have it.

The only debate my wife is having is F-sport vs. non F-sport. I was going to just pull the trigger on the non-F at the dealer but it's only a few weeks away to port so she wants to get the F-sport version ~ yay!

We'll share pics later but to OP - PM me about your s2000

you CAN drift a s2k, its not easy but its definitely doable lol. and AWD on mountains aint godly , hopefully the s2k will go to another good home!

also if you wanted a drift car, i would of definitely went with a 240. i know everyone has it but its been researched and a lot of parts are available for the car. cheap coils, welded diff and youre already in the right direction. plus its not expensive if something breaks. is the supra TT?
