I have not found the 230 in any other catalogue.
I have someone who has a 230 for sale made in 2014. He has the model stamped on the tokai catalog and the sn matches it.
With general tokai dating and models changing a 2004 or 2006 etc 230 should be a 2014 3xx or something other than a 230. but from what I see the specs line up. Do any of you guys have any idea what a 2014 LS230vf actually is? I cannot find any info online anywhere about it.
