500 LF-A owners probably get that

If I didnt travel, a Lexus GS350 F-sport awd is at the top of my list for a daily

I've been renting a lot of Ford's lately. Had a Flex this week. Ugly but roomy car. I might get a Mustang next week for the heck of it.

Still according to Jeremy Clarkson the problem is it still has the L on the front and back!

Obviously you've never seen an ISF or an LFA

so many ISF on the street... thus it's a normal car to me...

regarding the LF-A.....

while toyota was saying how picky they are on choosing the buyers, they make sure only car enthusiastic who has high level of driving skills are qualified to be considered....

toyota sold it to her.....

ISF is a really nice car
LFA too but too expensive

the new RC-F looks pretty sweet

Hmmmmmm.... You see ISFs on the street? Production numbers are at 11k, JUST US sales of the 370Z are like 4 times as much as that

And the 350 FSport is a lot of fun to drive too. As was my old IS300. And my buddy's SC300. I'm not sure where the Lexus hate comes from.

I've driven an ISF. My friend has one. It's got power, but we always joke that every IS is an F. The only way I can tell is by its funky exhaust tips. It's so mundane looking and still for that price a CTS-V will blow it out of the water.

LFA is cool but overpriced and it's a Lexus. If I had that kind of money, it would be Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, McLaren, etc IMO.

But a 500K Lexus...not in a million years. I'd still have to tell people: "Why yes I bought a 500,000 dollar Lexus but it's really fas..." Cue laughter.

Get a ride in a LFA. You'll change your mind in an instant.

Toyota and Lexus have been dormant for years only catering to the bland baby boomers. However, if they make a serious attempt to come back into the sports car game, I may leave Nissan as well.

Although not sporty, sadly their build quality trumps Nissan at every comparable model
