This is my favorite car period. I hope the production version will be very similar minus the 3 center exhaust. To me this is the perfect it is Japanese, it is a super car, looks good, sleek/thin. Unlike the GT-R doesn't have back seats. It is perfect.

Toyota please build it ~ I'll promise to buy one (eventually).

I'm really, really liking this, but the rumored 200k is insane for a Toyota.

Price it at the 911 turbo level, and you have a hit.

i expect them to cost twice as much as IS-F for the price tag, but anything more would be too much IMHO.

Exactly, this thing is perfect as a 911 turbo or R8 alternative.

Thing is, looks like Lexus wants to create a low production Halo car, 500 examples a year worldwide, 200k. A shame.. maybe they will change their minds and the see reality of the climate.

For 200k, you better believe I would rather have a prancing horse on my hood than an L.

So the badge a car carries on it's hood matters more than it's performance capabilities??? Amusing...

To many people, that's just it...
The NSX was a fantastic car, but Acura also made lower end budget vehicles...

If Volkwagen released under their own marque, a 1000 Horsepower, 1MM+$ 16 Cylinder vehicle, it would never have sold.

Many people, espeically when they're starting to fork out large amounts of money, are far more concerned by the emblem on their hood and steeringwheel than anything else. (An Example...Nissan GTR vs. 997TT...I just had to throw that in)

Image makes the world go 'round, I guess.
