I would challenge you to a race anytime lol. They are prob thinking about mpg big v8 vs 4cyl turbo would be more appealing to the masses imo.

Isn't the LF-A a twin-turbo V10? Or is it naturally aspirated?

I think it's NA.

As for Toyota, I don't see them coming out with anything remotely "fun" in the near future...

You don't consider the Toyobaru RWD coupe as fun?

2700 lbs with 200hp I would say that'll be a pretty fun car to drive. I am thinking about getting one as my dedicated track car...

I honestly have to see how it drives before I can make any judgments. RWD or not, it's easy to make cars a snorefest on the road.
