Butt ugly. I'd take a 1991 NSX over that.

The sound is amazing though.

That's actually been out for a while.

I like the artistry of it, especially when you see the movie. It's definately a Love-It-Or-Hate-It look. Still stunning to look at if you ever see that barrelling down the road...

NOTHING is finalized about the LF-A. In fact, it hasn't even been confirmed that it will be produced...

I like the looks and love the sound.
Can't wait for a comparison between the LFA and the R8.

i was being sarcastic btw, i just find it funny when people complain about something being ugly in concept form, because it usually significantly changes for production

Yea, from the acura board. Im actually biased towards Honda/Toyota Acura/Lexus. I love Lexus, IMO they are the best cars in the world, yes better than acuras but that LF-A is nasty, concept or not. I think it will be tough for Toyota to top the NSX (Looks wise atleast).

The LF-A concept on the Lexus.jp site shown above is old, the newest spy photo's of the LF-A testing on the Nurburgring indicate some changes have been made in the design & it's not going to look like the old concept in this thread, see the Newest Spy Shots HERE

Front end is really nice, so is the B pillar. the rest seems a little to boxy.

I hope they remove that spoiler. They should make it built into the car like the NSX.
