Default Lexus LF-A

I'm glad that Yota went ahead and green lighted this project, however this thing looks retarded.

Lexus+LF-A+Production+Car!+

Yeah maybe the GT-R didn't appeal to most either but IMO they took uglyness to a new level. Doesn't sound particularly menacing either but I'm sure they made a stout and fast car so I guess credit is due to the engineering department, just not the design team IMO.

There are two things that I find really cool and this car and the Nissan GT-R: 1. That they are being built in this green, eco-friendly world. 2. Very inventive and interesting interiors and technology.

While I love the C6/Z06, I think that Chevy needs to step-up the interior design and offer better options in the same fashion as these incredible cars.

according to a popular Dutch auto reviewer he said the LF-A is the best supercar he's ever driven. It sounds beast-like and it's very technologically advanced. It's interesting when you read about the cooling ports and air ducts in cooling the exhaust, the brake ducts, the radiator , blah blah. IMHO it looks sexy as hell. Whether or not I would buy this over a GT-R Spec V or say a Ferrari F430....is questionable.

Id buy the interior.........exterior? Maybe if something on it were original. I HATE all Toyota cars. The exception is the IS350. Present anyway, i was always a fan of Supra's and Mr2's.

But yea, looks like a 370z, Audi R8, and GTR. With Ferrari 458 exhaust. Meh.... ill buy one of those gauge clusters and put it in my Z06!!!

400,000 dollars for 550 horses hmm, list of cars for less I would rather have. Nice technology though, I will admit collectors will eat it up

3- Zr1 corvettes
Ferrari 458 Italia even with the ugly lights it ended up with

Always liked Lexus's and I think the car looks great personally... I'm not sure though that it will be a success especially at $400,000 dollars.

You could buy a ZR1 and a house to live in and still have money in the bank!
