Only if you're extremely wealthy like you, Mike. Poor Mr Opti only paid peanuts for his omega but has had to keep it for donkeys years, constantly paying for repairs he can ill afford. :(

Ugly, bland, uninspiring heaps of shite. Looked at one when they were only a few years old, and the 130k Omega drove better with more feedback (as it happens, I couldn't agree a price on the Omega, so didn't buy that, but did buy the Bullet a couple of weeks later).

It put me off Lexus for life.

Although I nearly had a change of heart when I drove the chip guy's tweaked import, eff me that shifted, loosing traction when the auto shifted 2nd to 3rd in the dry. But still a dull drive (acceleration aside), and bloody expensive for bits...   ...waterpump £400 for the part, another £1.2k for dealer to fit...
