snotrocket · 10-20-2009, 05:22 PM

sounds very exotic. I'm guessing the 150K mark.

I think it came together nicely, but it better be perfect if they want to sell it for 400k (or more).

By the way how did the GTR members manage to take pictures of it in the shop? Seems like they followed him in. lol

Love this car

molamann · 10-20-2009, 06:52 PM

Is testing really necessary on that car in the states? Shouldn't it be a lot more cost effective to get all the testings knocked in Japan then just bring over the production models? Maybe Lexus is using that specific model for U.S shows?
