This car should totally have Lambo doors.

557K…..are you sh*ting me!!!

It looks really good, to me. Toyota did a really good job on this one. I still think three tailpipes on a V10 is kind of goofy, but it’s definitely a respectable design.

I won’t talk about price, because either way, I’m not one of the 160 people that can (and will) get one.

I think so too beatus. And when you look at it there’s no mistaking the fact that it’s not American, European, Italian or otherwise… it’s definitely Japanese. I’d even go so far as to say it’s the best looking car to come out of there since the NSX.

But for that kind of money it had damn well better be.

The GTR will spank this kid’s ass, seriously.

This will get more chicks than the GTR.

Or rather I should say….

This will get more ass than the GTR, seriously.

Johnny, I concur.

I don’t know, Aesir, is this a two seater or a four seater?

==>>lol aesir you are totally right about that. But like 0-60 said, that pricetag is a very big hunk of change, almost apporoaching the msrp of the Enzo back when it was released in 2003. But this car is one of the best looking sports/supercars to come out PERIOD since i don’t know when

awesome car, props to toyota for making such car but do they really have to charge half mill for this? put a right price tag let it compete with gtr and 911turbo because profile wise it is more of supra image rather than enzo/carrera gt fighter.

Its ugly, overpriced and terrible. I wonder what will happen when the throttle sticks wide open on this thing? The reason so few are coming to North America is because after we witness its lackluster performance and the media lambastes it for being an overpriced pig nobody will want one. No Lexus, you cannot charge 500K for a car designed in-house that is a copy cat of other cars.

You know its not worth more than 80K, I know it and soon the world will know it.

FAIL

Incredible car in every way but wow…..still can’t get over that price. Exclusitivity has it’s advantages but 557k is simply ridiculous and stupid. Other then being so rare and new, why would you ever pick this thing over other capable supers- especially like the new Ferrari 458 Italia which will most likely outperform the LF-A in every way? Lexus is a solid brand but geeeeeez, wha the h are they thinking??!

I’ll still admit, if i had that ridiculous amount of money to spend I’d buy one in a heart beat and park it right next to my AMG SLS, 458 Italia, GTR, and new Mclaren.

Also, I’m willing to bet this is going to beat the GTR hands down NMOFGM’s Daddy. As much as I wish it wouldn’t be true, I can’t see Lexus coming out with a car that hasn’t had the GTR, among others, in it’s sights to beat. With more power, less weight, and an equally incredible transmission I’d think this contest would be a no-brainer.

And yes I realize the prize difference and the whole argument about who and what this new exotic or class is competing with. If it has 4 wheels and an engine they’re all competing. A ZR1 out on the streets isn’t going to turn down a drag race if it ever met a Pagani even though one costs 4 times as much as the other.

zeegone beegone, honestly i can put about $50k worth of mods into a stock GTR and it will spank this Toyota’s ass with my eyes closed, and I will still have enough scratch left for an even bigger panty dropper, the Murcielago.

I dunno son, seems like a Toyota fail to me.

This looks 100times better than the fugly GTR….but i prefer the GTR’s price to this ridiculous pricing…

I give 100K for LFA’s sound. It sounds godlike supercar. argg This is one of the most beautiful supercar.

Ditto for that CiNO…..

Imagine this car with the throttle problem they’ve been having. You’d be going like 200mph when you crash

i think this is one of the top 5 ugliest cars ever made. all carbon fiber but 100kg heavier than the F458, slower and less powerful too, wtf ? i bet most of the guys who will buy this car are people who dreamt about owning a Supra when they were young but could not afford it , but now they sold a few albums , moved some coke around and can afford this Uber-Supra. and the rest will be speculants and buy this car hoping the price will increase like it did for the F1 and Enzo.

when i see supercars on the street , i’m a little envious of the owners , but i can’t be envious of someone who owns this ugly thing.

+1 for cino…the engine noise this thing makes is amazing…and judging it by specs or 0-60 times or w/e is missing the point, really…not to mention cost…nobody who buys this will give a damn what it costs…and i doubt that anybody who would be interested in this would give a crap about a gtr, either…

News already released that Lexus is going to be offering this car in the U.S market with an expected price of around 350k.

Sorta disappointed on the expected performance specs…. Although I don’t think any real numbers so I won’t say more until we see some hard numbers….

The LFA they had at SEMA doesn’t count as a North American debut?

Who ordered the can of whupass?

scratchy the troll, yours is one of the top 5 stupidest comments ever made. transparently arrogant idiocity knows no bounds.

annyways, the car is amazing, as anyone and everyone in the media has already attested to. kudos to toyota for developing a superb piece of machine that looks the part and sticking another one to the naysayers. and i love the gtr but nmo daddy, seriously? what’s with the childish high school talk? you can put 50k in a honda civic and blow the doors off a ferrari too, so what?

Wow, Superman, so people that don’t agree with your opinion are trolls now?

Scratchy, is this you: http://tinypic.com/68ymhs.jpg

very clever there NMOFGMs daddy- you clearly missed my obvious point with pricing and power. Of course you could throw money at any car and have it easily beat a much more expensive one. Point being- stock vs stock, I bet (don’t know) the Lexus will beat the beloved GTR as it should with that kind of price. Have you seen the vids of the upgraded GTR racing ZR1, carrera GT’s, and other supers on youtube……..and winning- sick!

@ Cino- very much agreed with the LFA sound.

So it has questionable styling, no image to speak of, a dreary meaningless badge and is not as quick as the Nissan GTR, a car which is 1/8th of the price….Um???? Why???

I’ll stick with an Aston DB9 thanks and have a GTR as a daily Driver….

Nice sportscar. But, jacking up the price does not make it a supercar. This car almost seems like a joke, when compared to a Ferrari or Lambo.

@alsvw
Exactly…If I buy a 1 bedroom house and remodel the kitchen and bathroom I can’t call it a mantion.
It might be a nice car and for the price…DUH..it better be, but you can get the same driving experiance for a lot less money.

So for the $600k….I can get a jet black LP640 and used CGT…..tough call, tough call indeed.

or a Corvette ZR1, 911 GT2, and a F430 Scudera….and still have some money left over for the new an E63 AMG.

sweet… stupid expensive… id rather take one off lease… but… still sweet… i cant imagine how sexy it looks in person

@ beatusmongous , lol .

to the so called superman, if you are not able to follow the “high school” talk, maybe you should consider packing up your diapers and dentures and go buy a Buick and drive down to Florida?? and yeah your $50k added to a Civic will get you mad hoochies……

“Following its world debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, the Lexus LFA has taken to the North American stage for the first time at the Los Angeles Auto Show”

Huh…? I photographed this car some 2 years ago at the LA Auto Show. It was a little different and I think a lot better looking. I wonder how I could add a pic to my comments.

frickin sick wit’ it’

the gauges/dash on this car absolutely kick ass!

500K? – Lamborghini & Ferrari territory – Good Luck Toy Yoda

^^ with a better than lambo and ferrari reliability and performance to match. lfa – the car you’ll love to hate.

nmo daddy – so instead of actually trying to counter with a legit argument, you resort to another nonsensical comment. bravo kid, bravo.

When the throttle sticks on that car you’ll be dead before you even knew what happened. Maybe Toyota should be spending more on safety and quality than a fast car that’s way overpriced and ugly. Maybe GM and Chrysler are not the only companies making bad choices.
