If Lexus sold this for $100K and marketed it as a Corvette ZR1 fighter, they'd have a fighting chance. If they sold it for $225K as an Ferrari 458 competitor, I'd think they were being "cute" for taking on the big boys. But for $500K, WTF are they thinking?!?!?
Actually, I'm pretty sure I'll be in the minority here but I think it looks good.

For that kind of scratch makes you wonder what they got up their sleeve with this thing, better be something epic if they want more than a handful of sales.

There will be people crazy enough to buy it at that price... but it'll probably be the new depreciation king when it comes to resale.

I have heard rumors of Enzo beating 'ring times, but that still doesn't justify the price tag IMO.

now the rumors and ringtime stuff comes into play
just the way it was with the GTR
main difference : it worked for the GTR
I highly doubt that even the wildest rumors could encourage people to put down half a million for that car

Why does everyone like to rag on the fact that it's a Toyota? Toyota has an F1 team, Lotus uses a Toyota engine, and Lexus is known to do what it does quite well (comfortable and reliable, albeit boring, luxury vehicles), what's with all the Japanese car hating?
