This car is such an eye sore. Wonder what those designers been smoking?

Wait for the Lexus brand. It should look better. Same scenario as Infiniti G35 and Nissan Z.

You talking about this new IS? Yeah, i like it.....looks like an S2000

[speedy]

Nah! Its a two door concept thats been seen and photographed at tne Nurenburg ring testing. It's still under wraps but with a Lexus name brand it should look better.

Or this one:

2007 Lexus LF-A

The thing is...its gonna be out of reach for a typical Lexus buyer @ $150,000.

[speedy]

Its currently called the LFA supercar by lexus.

[speedy]

Yup!

[airshaq20]

Its nice..but for 150 Large...hmmm

I can buy a
1. CLK
2. TT
3. RS4

and a change for mods.

[speedy]

Now that would be a nice toy!

[speedy]

I did'nt say that it would be my choice but it is a nice try from Japan.

[airshaq20]

You bet....but...150G's for a Lexus? That's unreal and unheard of....LOL

Looks good though.

I think toyota is just looking for a halo sports car like the nissan skyline or acura nsx, which btw, will be replaced soon.

[speedy]

I'm sure that will be interesting to see a comp between the three Japanese car builders.

I didnt know they're replacing the NSX. From what i last read, they are discontinuing the NSX or replacement coz they lost money with that car. Not sure about the skyline though.

But its a good thing what Lexus is doing to up the ante...On the other hand, i think its too overpriced - remember when Acura came out with the NSX in 1990 @ $50G's. Everyone raised their eyebrows. I still recall how the readers of Car&Driver, Road&Track and Motor Trend reacted - most of them were negative - and all were ???? how Acura could charge $50G for their car...



Now, its selling at $89G for the 2005 model - still think its overpriced and underpowered compared to its newer competitors.

Lexus should be a bit more conservative with their pricing for this car - the car seems much more refined but they're no Porsche - have you seen their resale value on their cars? Terrible.

The future of the NSX is uncertain but they did have a show car about a year ago that was dubbed the next nsx. I'll see if I can find a pic.
