If you want a good laugh read the see there web page. The article says they have improved the car drastically over the last 2 years and are hoping to compete in the 2004 BTCC.

Have the admit the Lexus looked really good- but I can't see it happening!!!!

The IS200/Altesa is more the Japanese Ford Escort I would've said.

I think the rear light cluster is nasty, only bit that spoils the car for me. One of those bolds moves which, fair enough, is probably more the result of the designer than a consumer clinic murdering, but nonetheless jarring with the overall design. Still, with the mutated lumps of metal being wheeled out these days the IS200 is tame by comparison. Vectra = brick. Megane = A.R.S.E, etc, etc, etc.

It would be nice to see some Lexi back in the BTCC, (because that's the plural!:D )

I was just wondering what happened to them, since I was racing as them in TOCA Race driver the other day....as Tim Harvey in fact......though if they steal him from the commentary box I won't be best pleased!

Though another car in the BTCC??

Lovely Stuff! :)
