Both are whaleish.. would personally choose the Caldina GTT for boot space - assuming you dont have another vehicle for this...

Id personally go for the aristo. I used to have an older one (JZS147) and loved it. Great cruiser, but as said above not as much boot space as the GTT.

Aristo is quicker off the shelf but it does not take much doing to get a GTT to boogie.

Plus caldina come manual but is no where as nice looking as an Aristo.

Aristo has more features and is a great cruiser but i have the Captiva for that already.

Im falling to the caldina at the moment.

Really depends on what you need it for. If you've got the captiva for boot space and crusing then....

Really? Factory GTT's run flat 14s if you know what your doing, cant say ive seen a standard Aristo beat that.
Ultimately depends what you want to do with the car, towing is a definite +1 to the aristo.

Aristo with a speed limit defencer will do 270kph, cant say I've seen a GT-T do that :lol:

I'd probably got JZS161 as they're a bunch nicer in the interior, and a 2JZGTE is more than proven to be more reliable than a gen 4 3SGTE.

Only way I'd take the Caldina was if I needed to drive up to the slopes, and then I'd rather bus

True, although he did say 'quicker' as opposed to 'faster' :wink:

Price of fuel at $2.069/litre and rising...

3l straight 6 turbo versus 2l i4 turbo...

Or maybe I'm just getting older and not any richer...

Oh how I love the Aristo's... both models :(

I love Aristos too , just wondering if i like to drive it everyday from city and back. Well being auto i guess it will be easier in traffic. But pressing the clutch does not bother me. MMMmmm

You can't really compare fuel cost considering either car is probably gonna have money spent on it for things it doesn't really need. Nobody really pays that much attention to how much they spend on things they actually want.

Otherwise Babz would be asking Alto or Sirion instead :lol:
