What Mila Kunis Drives
You remember her as Jackie from That 70s Show and you might have seen her in a new film called Black Swan, which I think is about a ballerina or a unicorn or something. Most importantly, she’s in a lesbian scene with Natalie Portman. I haven’t seen it, but I’ll probably rent it for private viewing.
Kunis also does the voice of Meg Griffin, the nerdy, unattractive cartoon teenager on Fox’s Family Guy.
Until last month, she dated Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin for eight years.
A few years ago she was photographed driving an EG Honda Civic Hatchback similar to the one I reviewed in 2005. Unfortunately, she’s recently been seen cruising around in a black Lexus SC430, a step up in luxury, but a huge step down in automotive credibility.
An early 90s Civic Hatchback fits a young woman like a pair of black leather gloves, never drawing attention to itself but reliably and subtly performing its duties. The driver of an older Civic (excluding the Fast/Furious crowd) comes across as sensible, low-maintenance, smart, and casual.
The Lexus SC430 is the Honda’s polar opposite: a fat, ungainly boulevard cruiser typically preferred by upscale women with rich husbands. Even with its silky 4.3L 288hp V8, the SC430 is numb and lifeless from the driver’s seat and woefully uncompetitive against the Mercedes SL, Jaguar XK8, and Cadillac XLR.
It does have one point in its favor: a reasonably well-made interior with lots of wood and leather.
1993 Honda Civic MSRP: ~$13,000
2008 Lexus SC430 MSRP: ~$66,000
One photo shows Kunis parking in a handicapped space, but its unlikely she qualifies as being disabled, unless you count her endless hours playing World of Warcraft as a social handicap. The SC430 has the same effect the Nissan 350Z has on men — it turns them into douchebags.
Here’s Richard Hammond’s take on the SC430:

Probably a child.
Wasn’t she like, 13 when she started playing “Jackie” on That 70’s Show?
