How well do the 2jz engines actually work day to day? Mere strength doesn't necessarily impress.

That engine, by itself, probably sealed Cadillac's fate during the late 90's and 00's.

You are talking practicality and good sense, my apologies Danth as I am treating this as just mere interest. If I had the money for these things I wouldn't care all that much.
I drive a honda Si because it runs forever, but that has been true of Japanese products, even 4x4 'redneck' trucks since the 90s.
JZ engines were in many Japanese Toyoda models.
