damn thats a lot of money for a Toyota!

where it would be copied shamelessly….

Wow, $ 250 000. I though was supposed to be the ‘new supra’.

No, the new Supra is supposed to be the Toyota FT-HS, the hybrid 3.5L V6, but apparently it’s unclear if they’re going to pursue production. Hopefully they will, cuz they’re talking sub 40k price point.

it is a lot of money for Toyota! However, like Corolla you can drive this car after puling out of garage, instead of being driven on a flat-top Ferrari/Audi/Lambo style.

Its funny they’re selling it in China. The Chinese hate the Japanese, when I was in China, I kid you not, I only saw ONE japanese car, and it was a modified integra. The Chinese love their Audis, BMWs, and Benzs. You should see them drive those cars!

sik: $1,001 is a lot of money for a toyota. After Driving the new Tundra, my respect for the company has grown.

///m: The chinese call the japanese “brown dwarfs.”

sorry deanster, my mistake. for some reason i almost mix those two cars up in a conversation.

even still I love the LF, I just hope for the production car they keep the triangle triple exhaust like they have on the concept.

China I beleive has an import duty of up to 200% on imported cars. It’s part of the free trade deal with teh World Trade organization – they get to levy massive duties on anything and everything, and the USA and Japan don’t. In some politician’s mind that is called free and fari trade.

That must explain all the JVs

Jack:
yes $1001 is a lot for a Toyota…$1 is too much in my opinion, but comparing a $265k car to a Tundra is a bit of a difference. id spend $50k+ on a pickup myself, but if i was spending $265k on a car, Toyota would be one of the last cars id buy for that price.

sik: for that, I’m only looking at one country, and it’s the one closest to His Holiness

toyota would be the last cars i would buy at any price

exactly. Italian vehicles are the only ones that should be sold over $250k….and i guess you can call Bugatti Italian still right? maybe?

I wouldn’t call anything Italian anymore. The administrations behind these companies are diluted with everyone from Brits to Krauts to Americans, same goes for the designers. They might as well be Pakistani.

True that, Deanster!

Divide the price in a half and that will be the US price (so 130,000 with tax?). And again, look at the ****ing exchange rates! I wish China would ban the import of Jap cars…aren’t they supposed to hate JapaN?

deantj: as long as it’s a ferrari, a bugatti,m a Cizeto moroder … I wound’t care if the board were pure haitians.

Why call the krauts “Krauts” and not call the Limeys “Limeys”
and are the pakistanis “Ragheads” or “Towel Heads?” Need to get my slurs straight before the Olympics

wow jackassjim, shows what you know about the world’s countries….

‘ragheads’ for you would be Punjabis (good luck trying to figure out that nationality Mr. Hick of the Year) and ‘towel heads’ would be the good old fashioned, original terrorists #1, the Arabs…. note that Arab does not mean someone from any country between Egypt and Pakistan as you stupid hicks seem to think……. Arabs come from Arabia! idiot.

As for the car, it’s interesting that it would be sold there but how successful do we think it will really be? Aside from the Japanese car in a Chinese market cultural problem, the concept looked interesting but not all that feasible. The triple exhaust is actually my least favourite part of the car…….. it seems too extreme somehow. I remember some other concept from a few months back (can’t remember which one) and it had exhaust ‘ports’ we can call them, way up near the tail lights……… it just looked stupid. I want to see what the production version will look like!

obhatti: I’m no hick, that was sarcasm. I really don’t car what people look like … there’s hot women from Buena Park to bangladesh, from Compton to Cambodia, from San Diego to San marino, from Fountain valley to Finland ….

LOL.. China will have a knockoff LF-A at 10% of the price on the market 3 weeks later, you know they will!

true dat!
