You may now resume whatever mindless task I interrupted.

Dear Galactic Lobster,
I don’t want an SC400 anymore.
Signed,

Why tho? You don’t have kids to haul around. What’s the point of getting 5 seater sedans? All your friends have their own car, you don’t have kids, your SO or wife has her own car. Go 2 seater or go home.

lol

Because it’s newer, less miles, and CPO.

Why not? They’re quite affordable and sans a small number of difficult repairs are generally pretty durable. Plus early 90's Lexus = classy as hell.

Bro. It’s the GS430 with 3 less seats and a power-top. Pretty much exactly the same but probably a bit more fun?

Adding two doors doesn’t automatically suck the fun out. Besides, sleepers have their very own blend of fun...

Oh, and kids are not applicable in this case. Some of us have friends we actually enjoy doing stuff with

Bro 4.0 1UZ is best UZ. It sounds like sweet butter churning plus you get cable throttle. The 3UZ won’t have that.

Kinja'd!!!

It’s all in how you pick them :)

Most minivans do indeed have the fun sucked out of them due to being FWD, slow (ok, so recent ones have power, but in my experience delivery of said power often sucks) and with really annoying handling because large FWD lump.

FWIW though, screw it and go full size. I have many good memories in full-size vans, both riding and driving. For preference one like below... damn I loved that thing. It didn’t have much power (on account of it having a lowly 305) but it rarely felt lacking because low end torque. And while the handling obviously can’t be described as crisp or precise, the driving experience can be described as very fun.

Kinja'd!!!

But hey, opinions are like assholes... You’ll never come around to my tastes, I’ll never come around to yours. After all I’m the guy who genuinely enjoys a 1st gen Colorado. I’m pretty sure we’ve had this conversation before, anyway...
