That engine is making me think unpure thoughts. Looks like the 4AG and 2JZ boys are about to have some copetition in the "sexiest Toyota engine" department.

It'd be nice to see it hit production, but it'll be a llllllooooooooooooooooonnnnnnggggg time before I could afford one, so I'm in no hurry.

I have heard rumors that the LF-A will eventually take the place of the SC430. The new IS hardtop convertible will fill the void of a hardtop convertible and that the LF-A will be priced close to 80k. I dont think its possible with a V-10 and lexus build and finish quality and world class performance to be that inexpensive . But who knows ?

if that's really teh case, then it's going to be some big news. i mean, getting a v10 super car for 80k man. look at the m5 and m6, i think they go for like 90k

it would be funny if the lf-a takes over the sc430, coz' the sc is really going a wide range. before it was a sport coupe, now it's a luxury cruiser, and then it's a super car

Well, they've surprised us before with the incredible value of their models. Even today the German competition sells for thousands more. If they did, in fact, offer their "supercar" at that price then I'm sure they'll have no problem selling every unit produced... and don't be surprised to see insane dealer markups.

I believe Lexus dealers aren't allowed to markup their vehicles at all. I won't be surprised to see insane eBay markups though.
