Thanks for your very kind comments people.

As far as the the LFA and its comparison to the GT-R:

Toyota seems to be having second thoughts about the LFA. The latest thinking seems to be to bring out a very limited number[few hundred examples for the likes of Jay Leno], price it between $200 to $300k and continue to "develop" it further.

The LFA, if it ever sees production, will be priced like cars costing 2 to 3 times the GT-R but as to its performance, one can only guess as no concrete facts are known. It is supposed to be a 5 or 4.5 li front mounted V10 driving the rear wheels, with between 450 to 600 hp in a very lightweight structure. The interior is supposedly exquisite.

I am sorry to see HONDA abandon the NSX replacement and TOYOTA seeming not be convinced about the LFA and I must applaud NISSAN for having the courage to develop and bring to market the GT-R.

I am a true Japanese car "freak".
I have had the Supra TT, 300zxTT, Miata, S2000 and two NSXs among others including two Landcruisers.

Well looks like we share some car interests.....

Very nice stable of cars - are those the only two cars you own? Just curious since the IS-F can only seat 4 and is not that roomy to carry bigger things...

That GT-R rear view is my favorite too Life is treating you well!

All i have to say is the GTR was everything I was hoping that the ISF was going to be!

I still love my F, but the GTR is simply amazing. I really hated on it until I got in it in person. Pure power and performance

I think the best balance is going to be the Audi R8 V10...

I agree with you 100%. The GTR is in a totally different ball park compared to the ISF. But for what the ISF is it is a wonderful car too.
