i know itz easy for me to say that since my bro owns it... but still

we compared 2 altezza's side by side and it turned out like a is300

major difference...length, foglight...engine

in canada we dont have to pay tax on the engine size but in Japan they do, so the IS300 is basically the top of the range Altezza in Japan, Japan would have Alteza's in various other engines also like 1.6l, 2l and 3l Just like 318, 325 and 330 of the 3 series, same body different capacity engines

there aren't any IS300's in dhaka. I asked both rezwan and asad and they confirmed it.

its clear to me also but why is that guy claiming that its an IS300

is300 is an export model. you wont find any is300 in japan. jdm altezza's(rs200) are better then is300 in terms of accelaration (0-100 in 6.9sec, is300 does in 8.0 secs). and both the cars pumps out about 215bhp(mt). but if you tune a 2jz-ge, is300's motor, it can produce more then 500 bhp. is200 (a.k.a altezza as200 in japan) uses 1g-fe engine, 2lit 6 cyl, which produces about 150 bhps. is300 are all manufactured lhd.
