I agree, the chop improves the front (which itself has been improved with the new lights and no longer droopy front end).

There are 2 basic problems with the front, 1) the excessive empty space between the headlights, and 2) the front bumper area looks weird.

The revision fixes the empty space...I think a slightly larger Lexus logo without blackout would also help.

has the 9000 rpm redline in a V10 been mentioned, thats insane, you can see it from the gauge cluster, and yes those appear to be LED headlights as posted before

toyota/lexus engineering > bmw imo
if bmw can get 500hp from 8krpm v10, i would think toyota could do a bit better spinning another thousand rpm faster

Actually it is silver and is only a concept color at this time. The color is thrown off by the lighting inside Cobo Center. The LF-S, LF-C and etc. are painted the exact same silver color. I will have my pics up of this car in both the Riverview Ballroom (where the car was unveiled during the press release) and the floor where it was temporarily parked on last Monday right after the press release, right before they parked it on a turntable.

Here's one teaser photo of the LF-A I will post for now. This was after the Press Release at the Riverview Ball room when it was cleared out. It's a pic of the multi-LED headlamps turned on for us to see.

Front end reminds me of the 350Z.

The rear end, in the blue and gold shots above, is stunning.............better, IMO, than most of the Italian exotics.
Lexus, IMO, has needed a good-looking coupe ever since they dumped the original stunning SC models several years ago for the present Audi TT- look with the trick roofs.
