Never driven a standard altezza - but i can tell you that a turbo one goes and handles better than the WRX i had.

My goodness, can't believe most of you guys are going for the inferior car.

Caldina GTT is fairly rare, powerful, and looks super sexy in white. Altezza? well its just another typical car you see on the road everyday.

The man has made his choice.......I think he has made the right choice too :D

I wouldn't realy say that GTT's are a "rare" car.........I'm a bit bias though, my bro just bought an altezza and it is bloody brilliant!

Sadly both the Altezza and the GT-T are both getting a little overdone these days. Nothing wrong with either of them, given the choice of one or the other I'd go for the GT-T, but that's cause I'm an old man that likes the space of a wagon.

BUT.....

If there was a third option..... Aristo! I drove one of the earlier models with the 2JZ-GTE, and it was, well.... I almost needed some 'me' time in the bathroom 8O

Altezza owns the caldina through the corners. I think i have fair comment as i own BOTH models!! :D

The tezza is way more fun to drive but the caldina owns in a straight line.

OR get a 280t altezza which is freaking quick! :lol:
