Dr. Pomade Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'll put it in perspective for you haters, it's the best car from the number one car company of the world. Define "best car." Because I'd think you could make an argument that the MKIV Supra is a "better" car than this one, considering all the things that have been accomplished with the Supra.

Has overall better lines IMO (Supra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Has overall better lines IMO (Supra) Really? Definitely agree to disagree on that one, I think. First, the lines on the Supra are pretty sick, especially when the stance/set-up is right. Second, I really don't like the lines on the LFA at all. Too boxy, especially in the ass end.

SpaceGhost Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I cross shopped one when I bought the STi. I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the Supra (MKIV) > LFA And the LFA has nice lines up front (much better then the 2nd gen Sc's) but is ugly towards the rear. Looks nearly identical to the R8 (except for more boxxy-ish...yuck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 not worth $400k any way you slice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 It is way overpriced - that SHOULD be a 150kish car for what it is/how it performs. That said, it is far, far, far from an Avalon, and is a technical marval for sure. People hate it because of the price - priced properly, there would be a lot of love for that car.

Putty Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Considering the highest priced average Lexus is less than 80k, I can't see how they jumped out at 400k for this. Like Joe said, maybe 150/200k max, but to enter murcielago range...no chance in hell. Maybe pictures do it no justice and I need to see it in person to see it's beauty.

Mr. Jones Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Regardless, they consider it a rousing success thanks to the glut of multi-million and billionaires today. Every example was sold before they were ever finished production. But like most here, if I had 400k+ to spend on a car, this wouldn't even be on the bottom of the list.

Because I'd think you could make an argument that the MKIV Supra is a "better" car than this one, considering all the things that have been accomplished with the Supra. Best car in the Toyota/Lexus line up today. And yes I do think the LFA is better looking than the 13+ years old Supra. If anyone interest I "know" of a unmolested 1995 supra tt for sale. White with black leather, 6 speed, 60k miles. Only mods are front mount ic and exhaust. Wonder how much it worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I cross shopped one when I bought the STi. I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Yeah, me too, but the car seat wouldnt fit so I got the odyssey instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyc12340 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Seen a Black one in UA couple weeks ago, I got an impression of " Oh wait, LFA???" But no "Holly Shit WOW" factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a v10 that is smaller than a v8 and lighter then a v6. It can rev to 9000 rpm from idle in under a second. There are a shit ton of cool facts about the car.

Littleguy Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I wouldn't have one if I only had money for one supercar, but if I was in the league of people who have multiple, this one would definitely make the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crummer Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 its Black If it was the one I saw it was a dark grey metallic, definately not black as the black wheels. Sound was incredible, maybe not glass breaking but certainly exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
