I liked the dial transitions - wonder if they look so real and clean in the flesh.

Screaming 9000 rpm V10 - check.
Nice lexus interior with all the latest gadgets - check.
500 units? - booo
Styling - hmmm, needs a little once over by another set of eyes.

I don't know what it is with Japanese styling lately. What happened to the classic lines of the old Supra, RX-7s, and NSX? Other than the S2000 and maybe the 350Z, recent Japanese cars all appear overdone and unbalanced to me.

The engine sounds great though. If the performance is close, I would probably choose this over the GTR.

Originally i really liked the Concept LF-A. But with that new nose, it looks much different. It was a toss up for me between this and the R8. But now knowing the price tag they want for this thing, its beyond what i'm willing to spend, even for the exclusiveness.

But after owning two Lexus's, I've had too many little issues with them and would never buy another one again. I'm sure the LF-A won't have all the quality issues, but I'm done with the brand.

I'm disappointed. Appears more "rice'y" then the auto mag pix I've seen previously. I hoped for a smoother, more integrated exterior design from Lexus. I do like the gauge concepts, as lexus has always done well in that area. Will have to experience it in the flesh.

hardly distinguishable from a 350Z at first glance... I'm reserved. I think they could've been more distinguished with the design.

some people say the same about the r8 and new tt, so not the worst problem to have I guess.

Would have to see it in the flesh to comment!

[trincap]

Going to agree, ricey.

I've never heard that, but even still, as someone who recognizes cars, that front looks very 350ish
