New 08 LE V6 w/pics

Hey all,

I know I said I was going to stick with the I4, but Longo Toyota made me an offer I couldn't refuse. And after the amazing drive home I'm glad I made the change.

The car is at my tint guy atm getting 18% on the rear and rear-sides. I will post pics of the tint later, but for now here's the car just after I took delivery.

Here are the pics!

You made the right choice man! Honestly, given how the 4-banger and V6 deliver almost the same fuel economy, but the V6 is MUCH faster, I don't see why anyone would even consider the I4 after test-driving both.

Thats why I chose the V6. I can see on the Gen 5 though because the I4 made about 160HP, and the V6 only made about 190HP (before the Gen 5.5), so if I bought the car then, I would probably just get the I4 5-speed.

Thanks all. The car is really fun to drive.

Netforcer: That tC was for sale and irc it was $24,999.

I got the tint done and the GS430 wheels on this afternoon. Clicky for pic.

SE grille is on the way so I'll probably take more pictures this weekend...depending how long it takes to put up all the Christmas decorations.

Looking good. Now, to make it look & ride better, you gotta lowered it.
ps. How did you buy those GS rims so fast???

Yeah, I can see lowering springs in my future.

I had the GS rims on my I4 for about a year. I really liked the look of my I4 and that's the reason I stuck with the silver. Essentially new car is exactly the same as my old, except for the V6. The people at work can't even tell I got a new car my looking at it. Then they see the plates and ask. But walking up to it from the side they have no clue it's different.
