Actually, I'm pretty sure I'll be in the minority here but I think it looks good.
I agree, and I like the look as well - this is what I always pictured a 21st century Supra to look like. Badge it a Toyota, call it a Supra, price it at $80k and you have a nice GTR competitor.

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.

Beyond "too expensive" ... how does Lexus justify the 500k price tag?

I think it looks pretty good. I am with you guys on the price thing though. These guys are nuts to sell it at that price.

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.

cool,where did you hear that ?

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

Hootch is an unknown quantity at this point
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?

It's not that it's a Toyota, but the fact that it's a $500K Toyota.
