based on all the information on this car, i have a feeling itll be the next nsx. in 10 years itll be killed with no updates. i just find this kind of car to be forgettable. in fact i even forgot i saw it in person at pebble beach until someone posted pictures from the event.

Only 500 will be made. The NSX was made for 13 years. These two are VERY different.

Based on what information exactly you feel it'll be the next NSX? I am curious because maybe you have the information that we don't have, such as Toyota/Lexus has announced that they'll keep the LF-A the same for 10 year without change like the NSX?

Critics will always be critics. This car will continually be compared to the NSX, to the R8, to the GT-R, etc just because it's a Lexus.
Until this car proves itself (like on the Nurburgring, or at a famous racing event like 24 hours of Le Mans), it will get very little respect unfortunately. I hope Toyota understands this point and takes it very seriously.

Critics are good and comparison to other excellent performance cars is even better.
However, comments like...
"If it doesn't have 600hp then it'll fail"
and
"Based on all the information it'll be the next NSX"
are just hilarious... Unless someone has a crystal ball...

If the LF A proves itself and gets the respect it deserves, then maybe, just maybe enthusiasts will properly compare it to it's main competition, which is beyond the NSX/R8/GT-R/etc. group of cars

The LF-A will be unto a class of its own given how limited it will be in terms of production and the price point it's going to sell at. The likeliness of ever seeing an LF-A will be akin to the likeness of seeing as Dusenberg back in the early 1900s; slim to none. If Lexus goes ahead and markets this car as it intends to, it will rapidly become a collectors' piece, and you'll probably never see one on the streets in your lifetime. I know for a fact that there are several Ferrari Enzo in my region yet I've never seen one of them.

I have yet to see an Enzo on the road 
... not that I am a fan of how it looks, but I still want to see one in motion in person ...
At least I've seen the Porsche Carrera GT and Mercedes Mclaren on the road ...
That's one of the reasons I would HATE it if they are making only 500 LF-A's worldwide & selling for such a high price ...

I've been lucky enough to see a Ferrari Enzo in person around my area; it happened by sheer coincidence. I was also lucky enough to hear the engine, although it was at low revs.

i have seen all 3 cars you mentioned on the road. and honestly, the enzo does have the most presence. surprisingly, i like the GT the most and i think it looks the most "mellow" among the 3
