Phil,

In Japan (RHD land) the GS body is called the Aristo. Equipped with a straight 6 NA or twin-turbo. Not AWD AFAIK. <just checked the Toyota site and it ain't AWD...I think you'll be able to read enough of the following to understand:http://www.toyota.co.jp/Showroom/All...s/gr_price.gif

The url for the Aristo site: http://www.toyota.co.jp/Showroom/All...sto/index.html

V8 GS is sold in the US. Natch LHD, not AFAIK AWD. http://www.lexus.com/showroom/model/gs.html

There is a V8 iFour Toyota Crown: http://www.toyota.co.jp/Showroom/All...ges/gr01_1.jpg

Can you possibly get a piccy to help?? I guess someone could have plonked a Crown drive train into a GS/Aristo body...

Btw, jsut in case you think I am picking a fight (Aussie flame suit at the ready), the opposite is true, just trying to help...
