    Still not feeling the GT-R at all. But I must say, for some reason I like that LF-A. It is just priced about $200,000 too high.

    Yes/ no.

    The body on the LFA looks good, but doesn't look exotic. The engine is also too weak for it's price point.

    But, the chassis is a thing of beauty, where IMO, only the One-77 looks better with the skin off.

    The LFA is a toy for the super rich. People with enough money where they already have the Ferraris and Lambo and are curious to see what the LFA is about so $400k is chump change.

    I cant imagine anyone making it their primary exotic.

    For once I agree:), and it does not have a double clutch. Sounds SUPERB though.

    That's the most insulting thing Lexus could do. "Yes, this $400,000 Lexus is the pinnacle of design, engineering, and performance. It's certainly worthy of sharing a price point with a Ferrari 599.... but for $70,000 more we can make it just a liiiiittle bit MORE perfect."

    What a joke.

    Still think the LFA is butt-ugly and I personally think it's overpriced, but my lord does it ever sound fantastic.
