I just wanted to note that, from all appearances, the Technical Presentation Outline contains a major error on Page 26: it identifies the manual transmission as an RA62 (the Lexus IS 250 version of Aisin's AY6) when, in fact, it's an 80% new TL70 derivative of the Aisin AZ6/Toyota J160 used by the Altezza and Lexus IS 200.

Here's more on the subject in a Kaizen Factor story I wrote:

And it seems that the FT86Club.com community has already picked up on this, since it's mentioned in this thread:
