Altezza is a car, made by Toyota.

Euro is a unit of money, or a word short for European, adjective for someone/something across the lake from the US.

Altezza and Euro's are both retarted adjectives for clear tail-lights found on Toyota/Lexus popularized by "street-racers". Its an ignorant description for a style of tail-light, I know what it is - my point is that they are incorrect descriptions.

Call them what they are, clear tail-lights.

... and APC makes some of the cheapest crap you can buy for anything on round wheels.

correct me if i am wrong, but the clear tailights originated on European touring cars, hense the name euro tail lights. when they first appeared here in the US, they were on the suv's made my lexus(i forget the name). then lexus put them on the altezza, making them the first cars in the US to have clear tailights, hense the name altezza tail lights. but anyways call them what you will, they still look hot as hell. i like them even better with the carbon fiber on a black car

yup....the only time altezzas/euros look bad are when they are on a beat up car or on a pink car. this girl that lives close to my skewl has a pink civic and it is the ugliest thing ever

I don't know if they were used on European touring cars, but I do know they were made popular by Lexus(Toyota) IS and RX series cars here in the US.

Personally, I think they look ricey as hell on anything they weren't put on from the factory.

Yeah they never used clear tail lights on Touring cars, such as BTCC which was as close to the road car as possible.....European Nascar, which I thought BTCC was WAY better then Red neck racing anyday, until they got all gay on regulations and banned all kinds of crap.

I know I saw this S40, actualy the silver and blue one when I worked for Volvo, it was one bad car for non-aspirated.

Not to get off topic, but they where bad-a.
As lite as a Saloon with more chassis rigibility and more downforce.
So they had to ban them, unfair advantage so they claimed.(1st and 2nd all the time)
As well as banning all Quattros from BTCC also.

Personaly I think Rydell was just one awesome driver.
