Do I like the way it looks? not so much. Does the car accomplish everything toyota set out to do? I think so. And I think it embodies the "japanese" spirit more so than the GTR.

Kudos to not filling up this thread with "this car is slow for how much it costs" etc..

I agree that this thing is sick and embodies more japanese-spirit than the GTR..its very elegant, simple clean lines and has crazy rpm action.

Can't agree that this is the embodiment of the Japanese-spirt compared to the GTR. The GTR is how one would expect them to develop a performance car, using alternative technologies like Forced Induction engines and computer controlled All Wheel Drive system to achieve their desired goals, if anything the LF-A more traditional and dare I say more Italian in it's design and development than Japanese.

P.S.
Don't misunderstand me, I am glad Lexus built it and do rate it very special, just not to the extent that I would place it on the level of a Ferrari 458/599, Lamborghini Aventador or Porsche GT2/CGT.

There are only 10 cars coming to Canada at this point. I'd have to look up the exact breakdown, but not surprisingly, 6 are going to Vancouver, 1 here in Calgary and the other 3 are going out East.
