It just doesn't have enough sexy lines yet. It's just too square and needs so more curves.
I actually dont mind the shape/lines in a grey or black GTR... its the lighter colors that dont work for me.

^ 100% agree. Pity.

In other news…I read an article…can't remember where now but it profiled the 14 hand picked people that build every one of the 500 Lexus LFAs that will be made over the next few years. The workmanship detail and extensive Carbon Fiber used truly makes that car a work of art. Still for that price tag you have a lot of choices. However the respect of craftsmanship and engineering is remarkable.

I stopped off at DC Motors in Anaheim today. I believe they had 4 GTRs on the lot. One was a 700hp White Hennessy edition that was pretty tricked out. I really dug the look. The add ons gave it a lot of pop. Also, there was a sleek Charcoal Grey that worked for me. I may have to cruise out to Vegas and take one for a spin around the Exotics Racing track to better a better idea and appreciation for how they drive.

red interior is awesome, minus the seat ripples.... wonder if US will ever see the red interior..

curious also if the seats sit any lower than my 2010 did.. hated how my head would hit the headliner.
