Exclamation Official LF-A(II) thread (Will debut at Tokyo Auto Show, Lexus details Oct 20th, 8pm)





Okay, here is a new thread dedicated to the LF-A. We won't bump the old thread since this model is different than the first one (and in a good way).

I am sure when Ryan (Flipside) has time, he can get us more pics and details on this masterpiece.

I have plenty of close up photos of this car without all the mess of people in the background.

BTW...in this pic...you can see the guy from Autospies (Agent 001) snapping away. He's the taller fellow with the light blue shirt just to the right in this pic:

Those photos are great...BTW is it possible you could share one photo each of the new LF-A and IS-F for posting to wikipedia? It doesn't have to be superquality or anything (640 x 480 resolution ok), just adequate for the purposes of showing the cars.

I LOVE the new electroluminescent instrument cluster on the LF-A, wow who knew when the first LS set a new standard with its Optitron gauges, that it continues to develop this beautifully!!! Indeed like a watch designer crafted them. The LF-A's interior may set a new standard for the class!

I do wonder about the outside, I like its look, now though I'm trying to figure out if it resembles a Jaguar or something else. Is it positioned against the new Audi supercar or Porsches? Some of the other car websites out there are a bit mixed on the styling, while others love it.

Will it be called the Lexus GT 450? Since it's an Lexus-F car, will it be Lexus GT-F?

As I stated in the other LF-A thread, I see carbon ceramic brakes FTW!

LF-A is absolutely stunning!

This is going to replace LS460 as my dream car now. (or is it 600hL ?? )

As stunning as the exterior of that car is, the interior is even MORE so... Way to go Lexus!

Beautiful.

But I guess it will be $150-$200k. It looks like an Aston Martin competitor.

Too rich for me. The big question is will people pay $150k for a Toyota?

Who knows. Might only make a couple 1000 a year. One thing I hope it will be really $120,000 US for the LF-A

Seeing the most expensive Lexus right now is the LS460 L at 71,000$, the LS600h L coming out soon but not sure how much that will be likely be 75,000$ - 84,000$.

Thats my honest opinion.

One thing I just want too know how much the car will way.

I doubt it will be that low. This vehicle is targeted at the ultra-luxury segment, which begins at $100,000. Edmunds speculated $170,000. I think it will at minimum crack the $100,000 barrier.
