Not too shabby. Question is, will I regret everything bad I've ever said about this car? Looks good in white too...

Anyone around here have their name on one yet?

I think it looks great for a $100,000 car - not for what they want to sell it for.

Ive been talking to my sales rep about it but we both dont see me spending 300k on this car. Hopefully i will be astonished and be forced to pick one up.

I've been interested in this car since details first started appearing years ago. Even more curious to see where it will be priced. I'm not saying that it won't be expensive, but all these 200 and 300,000 figure are just speculation at this point.

Hard to tell but i think i'm digging the overall design now... and the exhaust note.... well thats just sinister.

But as others have already stated, the price point for this car has left me scratching my head.

Typical rich cocks that live in LA and want to drive a Ferrari for the same reasons they want to wear LV sunglasses aren't going to drop 200k+ on a lexus because its a lexus and they will have to tell their friends they drive a new lexus, rather than the trendy italian counterparts. And because of that... i fear this will be a failure for lexus/toyota and that will suck, because in a car world being dominated by econobox's we need more manufactures willing to grow balls and produce true sports cars these days.
