Sounds great too. Seems like a serious intro for Lexus. Wow, I hated this car when I saw it a couple of years ago but they’ve really made the styling work. Sounds great too.

I don't see how Toyota can sell high end performance cars under the Lexus name like LF-A and IS-F if they don't throw the aveage Joe something he can afford. That's what is special about the LF-A...if 'yo sells it, then they will be "committed" to selling sports cars of all price ranges...meaning a next gen Toyota (not Lexus) Supra and AE-86 might actually come to market in the US by 2010 or so. But then again, Toyota is in a backslide when it comes to quality and vehicle dynamics...will this be redemption for the big Yo? Wait and see, I guess...

Toyota. Pearl Harbor. bumper stickers? Solly I dont have any of these, looking for " Horn vutton dont work watch out for Middle finger." At $170 grands is defintely close to Ferrari territories. And what will the new V10 NSX sellng for? Will she meet the same fate as the 2000GT ? They were priced too closed to 911 then. When 240Z came out it was more closer to affordabilty so t flew off the shelf literally. @blowfish

I really wish that Toyota would have came out with a car that was a par to the Nissan Z before they did this and the IS-F. Anyway, is that video from <em>Best Motoring</em>? I love that show. Best thing next to <em>Top Gear</em> @<em>blowfish</em> Per chance, do you own one of those <em>Honda. Toyota. Pearl Harbor.</em> bumper stickers?

I can't wait to see more of this car. Sounds pretty similar to an F1 at high RPMs.
