Thats the only thing i hate about the LFA, Red + Carbon Fiber steering wheel.
Heck look at the carbon fiber start button.
But god, that is a high revving V10 plus love the styling

I am sure it still goes like stink...but it seems to be seriously lacking in the torque department... Viper V10s for the win

totally agree with this. LF-A is not a supra, was never intended to be.
Confusion came from people seeing it in camouflage and they went all "OMG NEW SUPRA REVEALED!!!!!!111111eleven"

Sounds like a gallardo on crack
You have no idea how happy it is for me to see Toyota finally produce something really sporty again. Lets hope this and the new "AE86" live up to expectations.

How about a $375,000 price tag?
So what about the price tag?
It's meant to be an ultra exclusive Halo car that only a select few will have to privilege to own. The 500 people who will buy this car won't care about the price at all.

You could buy a 997 Turbo and a GT2 for that price.

It's actually more like $400k, but yeah, you would definitely need to have more money than brains to buy one, or really really really really love Lexus'.

well, let's look at other 600ish hp cars price tags...
McMerc SLR : 400-500k$ (all I could find was used btw)
Porsche Carrera GT : 440k$
Lambo Murcielago LP670 : 320k?
seems about right...
people able to afford one won't care anyways

If I was a multimillionaire with $400k burning a hole in my pockets, there would be many, many cars I would think about buying before even considering this one. Don't get me wrong, this is a brilliant piece of machinery that looks and sounds amazing, but not quite $400k amazing.
When everyone was speculating a $200k price tag before the unveiling, I was thinking that it was high but reasonable. But now, at $375k, fuck no.
