No SR20, but HNGHHH AVAILABLE CLOTH IN A FULLSIZE LUXURY CAR.

It’s actually kinda surprising how often you see JDM cars like this in Canada. It’s stuff like Skylines or JDM Subies usually, but sometimes you see something like a Soarer or a Toyota Harrier and at first you think it’s just another Lexus, but then you see the Toyota badge.

The US-market LS400 was also available with cloth and no sunroof, and I’ve actually see one in person!

A friend of mine had an Aristo for while, it was very nice. There is a jzx100 Chaser in town too.. I just spotted my first R33 GTR in traffic this morning.

I appreciate the interesting jdms, don’t want to drive one though.

Why just why would this car be appealing to anyone. Just buy the lexus it is nicer and looks more premium. Cloth seats aren't desirable in a luxury car

Only for U.S. America do they have to invent Lexus. The NSX could not have a Honda badge here. But I know that car.

Huh, didn’t know that, thought that was just a JDM option.

Fun fact: the Celsior was the first Toyota to use the modern Toyota logo .

I like leather, but cloth is far superior in many ways. It doesn’t turn into a skillet on hot days, for example.

Or an icecube on cold days. Both benefits are EXTREMELY desirable in an area like the Canadian Prairies, -30C on some days in the winter, and +30C on some days in the summer. I sure don’t want leather seats in a climate like this, unless they were heated and ventilated.

Modern cloth seats generally aren’t desirable in a luxury car, because they typically use some sort of rough, coarse, cheap-feeling fabric that’s designed to push people into ordering leather. But, in decades past, there were some truly plush fabric interiors in luxury cars that didn’t feel like a downgrade from leather at all, just a different option.

go compare the interiors. and all it takes is a lexus badge to look more premium. same as how all it takes is a scion badge to look cheaper
