To the left of the screen the hood rod appears vaguely throughout the clip, hard to see but it is there. To be honest who cares if it uses a rod, it is still an amazing car, and I am glad Lexus at least went out of its way to create a supercar. The LFA is definitely one of my favorite supercars to date. If it was a limited-active production car, I wouldn't mind getting one. I just have to make the $400k first haha.
Nice use of PLASTIC on a $400 car.

typical Lexus.

The McLaren F1 was the first production road car to use a complete carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque chassis structure. Why hate on plastic? There are so many unique things made of plastic... what would the world be without it?

You didn't really use a car that is so full of win in a sentance of comparison with a over priced Toyota, did you?

That carbon fiber reinforced monocoque chassis on fire is more winning then the entire LF-A.

A Porsche salesman complaining about something being 'overpriced'.

Been around a long time, kid. So don't take this offensively. If you haven't spent Porsche prices for anything, I suggest you do a little research. As for the vendor, there are some things better left unsaid, particularly if there is a financial interest in the members. Unfortunately, due to his stupid comment, he won't be earning any of my business.
