That thing absolutely stunning. I couldn't breath for a few moments after looking at it. I have never had a concept do that to me before

Re: Lexus LF-A concept...

looks like the engine is in the front to me. the console/center is all too high so i'd guess the trasmission is right there. maybe there are intercooler in the back of the car?

Thumbs down Re: Lexus LF-A concept...

Well, I honestly don't think the styling is very good. The back end looks terrible and nothing flows. The rest of it is just ok because there is no real style to it. It's pretty much just a basic looking car that anyone could draw.

For the price that one of those would be, there are too many better looking cars to choose from.

What's with a 3 tip exhaust system?? Does it have 3 manifolds?

I'd really, really much rather get a link to the site posting the news, or the pic, then a link to some other guy's forum that links to the info. Why add in a middleman? I really am annoyed by all these links to post on GMI or C&G or wherever and all it is is a link to a news article or an image that could have been posted here. I'm here for a reason.

There's an unfortunate reason why we can't give you guys an exclusive on all these vehicles at the moment We're doing our best though and appreciate the support you guys show us (hits, posts, the like). Its really not a great time for future vehicle and auto news sites like GMI and C&G.

I never though Id see it, but Lexus managed to build a boring exotic/sportscar. Congrats guys.

I would think it'd be fun to own and fun as hell to drive, but man... that'd be hard to look at everyday.

Re: Lexus LF-A concept...

the design is OK....what are the fans in the back for? I'd be interested in seeing if a real-life production version would look as good....

overall, there have been some slim pickings at the show this year...a month ago I was depressed because I was not going to be attending press days like i did last year, but it seems like I really didn't miss too much
