Default Lexus LF-A is a NO GO...ain't happenin

Rumormill: Lexus LF-A... Stillborn? - Autoblog

HAHAHHAHAHA


No reasons were given, but we can think of a couple. How many people are willing to part with nigh on a quarter of a million bucks for a Toyota/Lexus? Also, the world's most prolific car maker may not be willing to join the current Nurburgring pissing contest unless it is 100% sure that they can beat the Viper, ZR-1 and perhaps more importantly, the GT-R and upcoming NSX replacement.

Actually, one 'Ring test driver didn't mind going on the record with his opinion. Former Nissan racer, NSX development driver and Nurburgring legend Motoharu "Gan-san" Kurosawa reckons, "Toyota are good at making money, but they're no good at making sports cars."
fuck you suprafags!

those were good cars of the time, i dont know what the gt1 was honestly nor care, i'm sure it was one of the japanese race cars or something, which almost every car company has badass racecars... they're just not up to par these days.

on the other hand, i think the reliabilty of those cars in par none. this would be the reason they have such a good resale value, and they're built well, not bashing in any means
