The NSX was an awesome car but this new "NSX" should have a new moniker. Front engine NSX?? ehhhh.

But whatever they call it... they should build it!

The LF-A looks pretty sick too. It put down some ridiculous nurburing times. I think a 7:24? (Something similar but don't quote me on that)

I don't know if the LF-A will have large appeal, being a $200k V10 Lexus trying to compete with the likes of the 430 and Gallardo. But it will definitely be an impressive demonstration of their capabilities.

My personal opinion, I'm skeptical whether either will actually go into production due to their limited potential for significant profitability. Not many companies can afford to build cars for kicks and not make a profit (VW and the Veyron are the most obvious exception)
