appreciate the kind words gents, i'm very smitten with this car.
I would say the money is worth it as you get the last NA V8 they'll probably ever make (even RX went 4 banger w/ turbo, and the new LX is v6TT) it makes a great noise and with the super shitty sales numbers, it has the making of a future collectable..... possibly. Its just ridiculously expensive for a Lexus. My wife thought it was a 50k car, when i told it was 150k+ shes like WTF.
but its because of stuff like this, carbon fibre reinforced plastic everywhere. Hood, doors, fenders, trunk.. pretty much there isnt any metal left in the body. (still a pig though)
And this is a real Toyota Product. They should have used this, stripped it of all its luxury and badged it a Soarer / Supra. It would have probably hit better with enthusiasts than the current BMW Supra.
