HD pics probably. The tend to make the pictures look almost too real (too many colors/reflections/etc) to be real.

I think a few could have been photoshopped a little as well.

the gap between the hood and front bumper of the LFA just stands out, its like they measured it short then forgot to fix it.

and you expect people to pay $250,000. No doubt a nice car, but c'mon..... lol well hopfully it stays down would suck if you were doing 150mph then the hood pops up.

^Guessing it was intentional?

Now what car does the LFA's headlights remind me of, hmmmmmm?

Demon Z · 11-15-2009, 08:40 PM

Funny how the area underneath the spoiler on the LF-A is glossy...

While the LFA "borrows" a lot of design cues from other cars, at the end of the day it will be how it performs against its competitors.

vash_241987 · 11-17-2009, 09:51 PM

I wonder what the final price will be? I decided to just check out the R8 V10 which is priced at $146,000....which is a 5.2L lambo engine....vs. a toyota 4.8L hmmm....I would like to see the LFA go up against all of its competitors, and see if toyota still has what it takes. I mean going from a competitor against the old GTR, NSX, and RX-7 to supercar is intresting. Sadly, honda decided to kill the NSX (good since they were going for a FR layout vs the old MR) and the RX-8 is breakfast for the z (seriously no TT? and 15mpg?).....well better get off this soap box

edit: oh and I also think I found the answer to that gap: http://www.lexus-lfa.com/ if you check out milestone on the right side there is a vid of the LFA bare chassis driving around. You can see the the intake is where that gap is....oh the the engine bay looks nice.

I think you would have to be a real fanboy to buy a lexus for the price of a top end ferrari or lambo. They should be making the LFA in the 100K-150K price range.
