I really dislike the exterior, but I could deal for that interior. I would have a hard time looking at the road over the speedometer

Love the LFA style gauge cluster and the interior. It will take me a bit longer to get used to the exterior.

Someone that is going to buy an LFA wont be looking at a IS, so i dont see how it would make the LFA less exclusive. Compare 500 LFA's to 16515691651511616565615 IS models...which do you think is more exclusive?

This concept is just like what the Germans are doing with the S-line pack, M-Pack and AMG-Pack you get a taste of the pie but not the whole thing. Do you think a C250 with AMG pack makes the SLS less exclusive? or even the C63?. nope/

I'm not saying LFA is all of sudden losing tremendous value because it's still ltd production model.

I'm also not saying LED DRL on other Audis makes R8 lose a bit of exclusivity (if that's a word) because it's a fairly broad spectrum application

The LFA digital cluster however is a signature piece that shouldn't trickle down to its mass-production econobox cousin. Especially if Toyota originally marketed the digital tach as the only feasible way to show appropriate rpm levels in real-time because its V10 revs too fast for analog (whether I believe it or not is another matter)

Ditto! I wouldn't mind a 3rd gen as my next car. I'd definitely still keep my 1st gen along with it.

I know what you're saying, however...what about VTEC?
Even Odyssey and other minivans have VTEC or some sort of variable valve timing.

What about HID? LED taillights/headlights? Even family cars have HIDs nowadays.
Japanese Kei cars come with HIDs...and they used to be only for high end luxury cars.

I think it was Audi started making all aluminum 4 door sedans only a couple years later the debut of NSX, but I don't think NSX lost its credit for trying it for first time.

6 speed automatic was only for high end cars too...but nowadays I believe Nissan Sentra has one.
I bet you'll see 7 or 8 speed econobox not far future.

Same as traction control, ABS, A/C, side airbags, power window, GPS navigation, MP3, DVD, etc. They all used be exclusively available for expensive cars.

You don't need to own Ferrari and Lambos to break 300km/h barrier too.
A lot of 4 door sedans..Mercedes, Lexus, Cadillac, BMWs are capable of doing it. (although they're limited to 250km/h and the gearing is wrong)
I bet relatively high end family cars will smoke Lamborghini Countach too.

Wonder how the white IS would look like if there was black vinyl between the headlights and the LED DRLs...

Gahhh kill it with fire! Everything about the exterior styling screams tasteless, tacky and over-the-top.

The interior on the other hand...reminds me very much of the Altezza/IS300 interior and is VERY attractive.
