altezza is actually under toyota. It comes with 5-speed auto (with manual selection) or a 6-speed manual transmission.
The lexus model is the IS200 or IS 300. Even though the IS200 shares the same platform, the 2.0 engine is different to the one in the altezza. The altezza has the 3SGE (210bhp) dual VVT-i 4-cylinder engine developed and tuned by yamaha. The one in the IS200 is a 6 cylinder 1G-FE engine (160bhp).
Though when purchasing the SXE10, it's always better to buy the altezza because of the engine - BEAMS (Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System). If u bought the IS200 for the same price as the RS200, then u have wasted your money

Here's a video on how the Dual VVT-i system works. The 3SGE engine comes with a Dual VVT-i that adjusts both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Ever heard an altezza roar? It really reminiscent the sound of a 4AGE AE86 at full throttle.
Why Altezza only single exhaust while Lexus got twin piping?
