LadySX,
There's actually 4 of them being sold up here in Sydney (Castle Hill)... 3 manuals, 1 auto, ranging from $12999 to about $15000 (I think all 1991 models?)
We took the auto Trueno for a road test (he needs an auto because his girl wants to drive it too and she doesn't drive stick ... that model had larger brakes than the equivalent Levin, factory CD/cass player, power glass and mirrors, comfortable and supportive (for me) front seats, rear wash/wiper, factory spoiler, 4-spd auto and of course... the magnificent 4AGE 20v! Bloody hell that thing revs like no tomorrow (especially for a stocker!)... the one we looked at also had a 6-CD changer in the boot... surprisingly the boot is actually quite large for a small coupe.
Aesthetics-wise I'd rather the Levin, however it misses out on the bigger brakes from the Trueno, but still has the twin tip exhaust etc etc... looks like a mini-Soarer The Levin we looked at was the GT-APEX 20v model, which had power glass/mirrors/sunroof, 6-spd manual, once again the magnificent 20v motor and factory upgraded sound system (doesn't sound bad for a new system... includes rear deck mounted midbass driver).
BTW they handle great as well IMO... head room is not too great in the rear... I had to tuck my head down on the test drive and my head still hit the headlining, but legroom is ok as well.
