I've been thinking lately ... Lexus needs to stop with the LF-A concepts. If Lexus shows another LF-A concept before the production car I think people might grow weary and tired of waiting for the production car. I hope that this LF-A roadster was the last concept and that the next thing we see from Lexus will be the LF-A production car.

I'm also really interested in seeing the mechanical layout for the production car. I'm very interested in the suspension setup of the car, and of course the engine/transmission details. I have a feeling the rear suspension might be set up similar to an F1 car; the rear suspension could be directly connected to the transaxle. Either way, it should be very interesting when we get details on the production car.

Yeah, I think we have been teased enough already, they are all pretty good but the next one better be the real thing!

No need to beat a dead horse, but I agree, I would love to see the final version and maybe get into the point that would allow us to see and get excited, instead of saying...oh, another concept.

As an SC replacement, I am game, give me a hard top convertible version of the LF-A and I will place a deposit now!

It's supposed to be out either in 2009 or 2010. Expected price tag is definitely over 100K. How much over is a matter of debate.

I wouldn't put it past Lexus. You never know.

Note how this roadster version does not have the larger carbon brakes like the 2007 coupe concept.

They gotta just stop with these teasers and just bring the car out already! It's going to be dated before it's even released, just like the new Camaro.
