ADV.1 Wheels Report post Posted February 22, 2011 If that blue is anything like the IS-F Blue it will look INSANE in the sunlight! I normally hate blue on cars, but that color is in another league! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
livetodrive Report post Posted February 22, 2011 This should be the 'Pearl Blue' Its interesting how colours affect peoples first impressions on car design. Just for kicks...NSFW vid below... LF-A + Supermodel + Drift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SP_superJay Report post Posted February 22, 2011 Other than the price tag, I've always been in love with this car. But yeah, it's just going to be a "Lexus", now and forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2772 Report post Posted February 22, 2011 Still doesnt do it for me....Cool to see all the colors together in a real setting like that. Great pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted February 22, 2011 Not for that price, I don't care if the carbon fiber weave is different or it has some amazing technology. I'm willing to bet the new McLaren at a fraction of that price will stomp it out. The LFA doesn't even have that impressive of 0-60 or top speed figures. The new 2012 GT-R shows it up on that alone.

Chipster Report post Posted February 23, 2011 I think it looks good but it's too similiar to the GTR to me and the GTR is way cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTCOBRAS Report post Posted February 23, 2011 There aren't many exotic/expensive/super cars that I don't like but this car is dissapointing on so many levels. They did so many things right, but they are offset by things that seem so wrong. Why are the radiators in the back? Weight distribution is probably one reason but, they had to add a bunch of scoops and grills. This means needless weight and complexity. They have the plumbing to the back of the car as well. There is very little luggage room as a result and styling that is "unique" but not in a good way. Front engine. Why put the engine in front? Why not a mid engine design? It seems by putting the engine in front and the radiators in the back that they lost out on any benefits of either design. Speaking of design, the car is ugly overall. There are a few details that look good on their own, but as far as cohesiveness, there is none. Carbon prop rod for the hood. Again, why? Why not put it on a pivot so that it can be in the same place and won't get lost or broken? The brackets to hold it in place have to weigh more then a pivot for the rod. Just seems like an after thought. They keep bragging about engineering and design ie making a machine to weave CF, but the devil is in the details. Ergonomics on the interior. The knobs and buttons seem to be in odd spots. Windshield wiper intermittent on a separate knob? Why not just put it on the stalk like every other car? Price. Why on earth would you spend that kind of cha-ching on a car that is beaten by cross town rival Nissan and the 2012 GT-R? I don't like to compare the GT-R to super-cars because there is usually so much going on behind the scenes like wonderful looks or history or some goofy intangible like passion, but in this case, both cars lack anything truly special and the performance is within driver error. The engine does seem to rev at an incredible rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickSimmons Report post Posted February 23, 2011 The car would have been awesome if they released it when it was conceived. It's old, ugly, and doesn't even seem that fast. Waste of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
