you are very very high lol

I don't think the LF-A shares any design cues from the supra.

granted both cars have spoilers, two doors, etc...

however that supra has a body kit on it. we've seen honda civics end up looking like little BMWs with body kits

My thoughts have been since the LF-A is a Halo car (demonstrating the latest and greatest tech and innovation from ToMoCo) they should use the LF-A as a template for a new Supra. This Supra could be priced around 80k and compete directly with the GT-R. 5.0L V8 (from IS-F) in a new Supra anyone? Sign me up, but I know I'm dreaming lol

Not too much of a resemblence. I wish Lexus spent their resources on the SC rather than the LF-A.

Note to all CL members: Please stop with the Supra references to any 2 door car Toyota produces.

I know what ur saying, its not that it looks like it (cause it doesnt), they both seem to have the same presence about them, the LFA is a modern and more luxurious and futureistic interpretation of the Supra.

I thought that the other day when i saw the Supra, havnt seen an LFA yet but i cant wait til i do

I have a printed out magnetic poster at my desk (I work at a company who produces these things and sells them) and a coworker came by my desk once and said "Hey is that a 350Z? Do you drive a 350Z, there's another one in the parking lot and I was wondering if it was yours?" I don't see how the LFA resembles anything like the 350Z but whatever.

The Supra is a lot more round in design and the LFA is very angular and sharp lines. So I don't see alot of likeness in the two but I do like both!
