    The LFA is a horrific mess visually. There's more to an incredible car than face value, but this one interests me as much as a Saturn Redline. Hideous in every respect. I have no idea who wants to purchase these warts. Performance MUST be available through alternate, cleaner lines. Ick and double Ick.

    When I was about 10 years old, back in the 1970s, I would draw that exact car numerous times on the back of my math notebook.

    If I remember correctly, I earned a C in art class that same year.

    Passing grade ? How many apples ? ;). Bulldog fans unite, this thing is as disgusting as a 78 Monte Carlo. This atrocity makes a GT-R resemble a 275 GTS.

    Think I may have said this before but ick. Toyota has yet to make a truly desirable car. 2000GT, MR-2 and Celica AWD included.

    Well, lets take a look at the stats of the LFA: Can go from 0-60 in a ridiculous time of 3.5 and has a top speed of 202mph. Its also roughly the same cost as a pair of California's or 458's. The LFA is priced around $350,000. Looks like Toyota is going to challenge the 458 and a host of other supercars. Im still not totally convinced about that, but it sure is a sweet ride!

    I tend to agree with you: really ugly car!

    The front is ugly but the rear end is a work of art in my opinion! absolutely breathtaking

    I don't think the LFA will ever be considered pretty but seen up close in person, the amount of aerodynamic refinements and attention to detail is phenomenal.

    At only 500 units, there is very little from Ferrari they will challenge with this car. Maybe a GTO, but I'm not convinced buyers will be cross-shopping. Some may have both, however.

    Saw one today here in the South Bay.... kinda cool but definitely does not give the impression that it costs $350-400K....
