With that knock off styling, Lexus would have to give me the car for free and pay me if they want me to flaunt it. 
I would also wear a bag over my head so people don't recognize me.

Well, the tail for example is a complete Audi knock off. All those side and upper vents are Lamborghini.
Lambo vents are actually functional but Lexus is a front engine car with all those vents in the back for??
Headlights are from Acura, and the hood from Fast & Furious movie props department.
I am just being real here if somebody paid that much money and tried to flunt it in front of a trendy place (like Lexus wants you to do) that is exactly what people will point and say. And when people realized how much you paid for it they get a good laugh will say if you like that tail why not just buy an Audi? If you liked all those vents why not a Lambo that's actually functional.

The same can be said for any car. If we liked the second gen GS, how come we didnt get a benz?

I actually have a 2nd gen GS.
That doesn't make any sense.

aerodynamics?
I mean it's just a thought, considering integrated aerodynamics make for a cleaner overall appearance, as opposed to tacking on "stuff"

You do realize the LF-A prototype predates the R8 concept right? 
Most mid-engined cars have those vents just like the Lambo. The ones on the LFA are fully functional and serve to direct airflow to the radiators, which are uniquely mounted in the rear for optimal weight distribution.
Huh?
Trying a bit too hard are we?
Do us a favor and buy an Audi or Lambo then.

For the longest time their proto type looked like this. Until Audi came out with R8
Seriously you should win an award or something for your comments here.

Also, I guarantee you that no one who buys the car will care what other folks who cannot afford the car, such as you and I, think about it. I sure wouldn't.
So good luck with hating on the LFA. It'll be lonely on that island.

This is a wrong tactic in my opinion. Lexus should build an entry level super car costing around $130k and build like 10,000 units a year, not a top level super car costing $400k and produce 500 units throughout the whole model life. If you want people to know your capability to make cars on par with those of Porsche and Ferrari, you want your product to be seen. How could I know there is such a Lexus super car if I can't see one on the street in five years? Not everyone is like us car enthusiasts following car news all the time. I am sure many people do not know LF-A's existence. Toyota is like this, either don't make a sports car, or make an ultra-expensive one so seldom ones could actually own it. Learn to run before knowing how to walk. Be cocky all you want Toyota, this car is not going to accomplish what it was originally meant to.
