    <----06 XRS, Phantom Gray. It's fun. It's tame enough for daily driving duties but if you need to kick it up a notch it'll do that too. I get about 28mpg city and about 35 or so on the highway with cruise control. The shifter's notchy, but after draining some of the thinnest gear oil I've ever seen at 15k miles and putting in some conventional of the correct weight, it's smoothed out a bit. It's still somewhere between notchy and exceptionally "precise" but all the MT Toyotas I've ever had have been well worn so I dunno if it's just because it's still new, lol.
    I've taken mine on a couple roadtrips and I've had a 6'5" passenger in the back seat who remarked at teh amount of headroom it had, lol. I can fit no less than three dead hookers in the trunk by my count and once debadged all the local ricers assume it's just an S and I don't get mean mugged and revved on at stoplights.

    Take a peek at the new tundra. It's got two seperate points of VVT. ...while I don't think they specifically call it "lift." ...full throttle, the bottom line kicks in around 2100, top end about 4500. Wow.
