Completely agree, i note in the performance write up they wax lyrical about the power over 6k revs. Whilst appreciating this car is substantially faster than my Celica T-sport, it is also substantially more expensive, and on the road how can anyone expect to enjoy the LF-A high end power without risking a prison sentence?
If you want excitement, the T-Sport was brilliant when kept over 6k revs, and more than a match for BMW 330i's, Audi TT's etc.
So, quite why Toyota/Lexus feel a 300k plus supercar will make them an interesting manufacturer when they have discontinued Celica's. Mr2's and Supra's is difficult to understand.
The only car i'd consider now is the IQ for my 2 mile jaunt to work in rush hour traffic.
As for the Lexus part of Toyota, I own an LS430 and would not swap that for the new LS460 or 600 hybrid's as having test driven them, they are not as silky smooth and refined, which in those types of cars is what you want. Therfore, they are going backwards in this segment, yet prices rise.
The LF-A will be a disaster, much as the SC430 was in it's segment. If a mainstream manufacturer is going to build a supercar, they have to have cheaper sports cars on offer, otherwise the hard working people who can afford such supercars will go for manufacturer's they know have a reputation for fast and furious cars.
