The more I look at this car and all the new latest pictures (Even if they are of the same car) the more I dislike its looks. I'm sure it will perform great, but boy is it an ugly car.
I forget why the decided to play the radiators back there. The V10 could be really large. I'm still hoping for a mid-ship.
Toyota always has things up there sleeves!

I think you guys need to stop worrying about the front, it will look something like this (which I think is very HOT). If you compare this front end with the spy shots you can seen the same design features under the camo.
price wise, the car should not cost more than the BMW M6 if it is a hardtop coupe. If it has a folding metal roof then it is understandable if it costs more, however I have a hard time believing the car will sell if it costs more than the M6.
in this pic you can see the similarities, the shape and angle of the front, the little intake vents under the headlights, the turn signals, and the lower lip. Obviously the rendition won't look exactly the same as the actual production car, but I do think it will look very similar.

Foolish me
I knew it had to be a convertible. I guess I was looking way too hard to find where the convertible folding lines are in this picture:

The LF-A is just plain FUGLY. Those ugly rims look like cheap hubcaps that are sold at Pepboys. 
This design reminds me a lot of BMW's Bangle designs, lots of sharp character lines that lead nowhere.

Seems more like "L-Bee-Esse"

Hopefully lexus will make a roadster and return to a real coupe with the SC instead of a roadster with half a seat wedged in the back.
