ive been told 1ggte's are unreliable
and if its a m series (supra, soarer) well ive experienced the headgasket problem.

They get confused between the pre-update models and the later ones.

Even so, the difference is negligible...
I mean, there's minor differences, but nothing that would make you say that it is UGLY...

minor differences like the different front grille patters, different colour griffin on the front, slight different interior options, spoilers, on the later models there was quarter panel badges, more chrome on the rear lights, different paint options, etc etc
different steering wheel shape... trivial things.
