The worst part of the car is the exterior bodywork. Its very rice boy and didnt really fit in any part of the Lexus portfolio. The car is lowered so the wheels look odd inside the arches, and the brake vents behind the front wheels look horrible. The hood bulge looks wierd too.

I dont know, I like it. I could do without the silver mesh, the stacked quad exhaust, and the silver carbon fiber though. Besides all that, which could be changed pretty easily between the available options and the aftermarket, it's a nice looking car. I wouldn't rush out to get it, but I think it's a good effort from Toyota to get back into the performance segment.

The LF-A on the other hand should be amazing..

What is F? BMW's new competition?

I most certainly think not, especially since F stands for Fail, Flunk, Fat, Flustered, Flabbergasted, and host of other words. . . .

Meanwhile M stands for, Motor sport, Motion, Movement, Motivation, Master, Marvelous, Meticulous, Malicious, and best of all. . . . ///M.

Lexus will never own up to what the germans have done in terms of performance and excitement. I can never see that happening. They just dont know how. Now, thats not to say that asians don't know how to build performance cars, it's just lexus. Otherwise, theres the NSX, GTR, Supra, S2000, Skylines, and many others. . . maybe not the most plush or fancy looking cars, but performers? I think so.

Since you mentioned the Supra, you do realize that Lexus is Toyota, right. And on that note, the 93' Supra's performance is pretty close to the current M3's performance and equal to the e46 M3, and that was 15yrs ago. And don't forget the upcoming LFA that has been "speculated" to have done 7:24 in The Ring.

look at the ops post date my friend. lol that is if your referring to this thread.

i mean the isf is just a super tuned big engine version of another car. the other cars like s2k rnt tuned as much or anything. if u drop a few things into a s2k it could be equal the the current e9x and quite possible vishnu e9x if u drop a few more things into it. those cars are highly customizable..
