Default Lengthy spy video of the LF-A from Edmunds.com

Much longer than the spy video posted a while ago. The engine sounds sweet.
Thanks to Phillip31 for first posting it on my.is.

That front end still needs A LOT of work, looks WAY too droopy, the rest of the car looks pretty good . . .

Sorry, but the car looks too plain. Looks like the new IS as well as a wide body celica..

I can't wait.. . It's about time Lexus pulls something like the LF-A and put it into the production.

I know some of you may say, " itl's look like a Civic, Maxima, Celica, Corolla, Camry, Altima, A6, Tundra, Tacoma, F150 or whatever you can come up with". Personally, I think it's look like an ES from the front and the GS from the rear and the LS from the side and the RX from the top and the LX from the bottom...j/k..

Default Nice Find

500 hp manual trans Lexus I love it. Did you hear that thing. That has to be most CL members dream come true. I don't care what people say about what that freakin thing looks like, that thing is bad. The Vettes can kiss my butt if I own that.

I want one. too bad I couldn't afford one. talk about a mid life crisis machine.
"umm honey, we need a second mortgage........"

Very promising, although I agree that the looks need refining--nose droopy plus rather plain. I wish the supercar would match or beat Ferrari looks etc.

Also the spoiler---!

This car will never succeed and will be taken out of production for 1 reason only... it has a Lexus logo on it. Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, BMW, MBZ, etc..... Lexus= when it comes to the super car market.

That's because Lex doesn't HAVE a supercar yet!! Yah, Lexus reliability with a 500 hp car, that sounds like a flop to me ? Besides, they said it will be a limited production model, which will increase demand. I'll bet there will be a full waiting list by the time it's released.

If you had 100k to blow would you get a Masarati or a Lexus?

For $100K, most definitely a Lexus.

For $200K, a Ferrari or an Aston.

And you know how unreliable those 100k and over cars are..... Its like you see Ferraries in the shop almost as often as you see Fords.....

You get what you pay for, and if i can afford a 100k car, i wouldnt even look at a Lexus as one of the options
