Lexus needs to round off the front and rear more...

Quit with all these crazy and ridiculous uber sharp jagged straight lines...

No like!

>_<

**Nerdsrock22** · 10-20-2009, 06:38 PM

About damn time. I like it. We'll see how a $400,000 Toyota does.

**DB4LYFE ™** · 10-20-2009, 06:59 PM

**EJ25RUN** · 10-20-2009, 07:39 PM

**Oz10** · 10-20-2009, 07:41 PM

If by Supra you mean 10x more expensive, then yes.

**Crazy Asian** · 10-20-2009, 09:08 PM

F the GT-R Im buying this.

**csmiths** · 10-20-2009, 09:22 PM

LOVE IT!!!!!

**ATL86** · 10-20-2009, 09:39 PM

Awesome. Rear is reminiscent of an R8 to me. Just because of the vents, though. Also looks like they used lug bolts. They look the same as on an S-Class. Love the interior, too. Looks comfy for a supercar. Not cramped like others...

Did you take the pics in the first post?

**VooDooXII** · 10-20-2009, 10:05 PM

FINALLY! I've been waiting to see what this car will finally look like...closest I've seen was Need for Speed: Shift.

Here's a Japanese "supercar" I've actually been looking forward to...much more so than the GTR anyway.

Sounds like they could not compete in terms of price and had to resort to this.

Not accurate. Supercars and exotics have very low production figures.

**ironchef** · 10-20-2009, 11:26 PM

That gauge cluster is fantastic!

Since 2006 Audi has made almost 10,000 R8s and is still producing. Im sure they are making a bunch of GT-Rs. It's not like this is an Enzo.

It sort of is. They're limiting it to 500 now. Though I'm sure if they sell out all 500, they'll make more.

When manufacturers release production numbers before the car is even being sold like this they want to let customers know it will be something rare. So they won't produce more because they would piss off the first customers who thought they were getting something extremely rare. They could come up with a new version though.

**aer0s2k** · 10-20-2009, 11:53 PM

nice car

it would be nice to see honda/acura answer to nissan and toyota with their own supercar.

**esi_atlanta** · 10-20-2009, 11:59 PM

damn..sick... me likey ...

**aer0s2k** · 10-20-2009, 11:59 PM

Actually it is so try again. The AUdi R8 shares its engine with the RS4 and the V-10 with the Gallardo and is priced MUCH cheaper than this car. This is completely bespoke from the ground up. I would like a link to your CLAIM of 10k sold.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...t_drive_review

Although the car is extravagantly expensive, Lexus says it will lose money on every one. We believe it. The last car that incorporated a similar level of technology, performance, and exclusivity was the $650,000 Ferrari Enzo. At $350,000, the LFA begins to look like something of a bargain.

LFA is an exotic, two-place, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe. The chassis and body are made largely of carbon-fiber composite, just like those of an Enzo or a Mercedes SLR McLaren. Per Lexus’s scales, the car weighs 3263 pounds—less than a Corvette ZR1.

Honda canceled the NSX, V-8s and RWD platforms and sadly the S2000.

Do you people just believe whatever you want?

You know Honda will sell B16s EG hatchbacks next year too?
