1) No it does not, but can be bought in Japan and the US in 5 door hatch version, 2JZ NA engine and 'tiptronic' auto only. Imports of this are being sold in NZ right now for about $35,000.
The model is called the Sports Cross or Gitz depending on the market is is sold in.

2)As per Norbie !

3) I found a story from a US car mag showing someone who had fitted a 2JZ GTE to their IS200, and from memory the problems were not of the kind that made you want to give up the idea on the spot.

4)As per Norbie again, the IS200 is a very sweet and well balanced car in the handling stakes, but the underpowered engine is its biggest let down.

5) The 300 does feel the weight of the 2JZ and it understeers more and is not so sweet to tip into corners. Having the auto box only open spoils the fun as well. Try back issues of Wheels magazine for the stories on these cars.

Just an idea I had and not likely to be original, a supercharger from a 1G-GZE might be a nice bolt on power upgrade for the 1G-FE engine standard in the IS200.

Cheers,
Mitch.
