^ The rear end lights remind me of a 2004 generation Eclipse for some reason... so far, not impressed by the styling... 3/2/2006 11:37:18 AM |

the rear lights in 1st pic looks more like s2000, the 2nd pic does look like 3g eclipse. That front end looks odd, but need some more pics to really judge it.

If it really wants to compete with the 350Z, then maybe it should be a lot cheaper! What the hell. 3/2/2006 1:08:04 PM |

I don't know about the pics posted here, but the Lexus LF-A Concept which was shown last year has been spotted in testing on the Nurbugring circuit. This points to a strong possibility that it will see production.
Lexus LF-A Concept
<5 litre V10 500 hp 200 mph
More at http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/lexus_lf-a.asp
Quote : | "As suspected by many Lexus fans, the LF-A concept car will "definitely" see production, according to Road and Track magazine. However, the report says the production car will look "significantly" different from the LF-A. Show below is an artist's rendering from the magazine of how the car will possibly look, based on feedback from insiders. For a larger version at the image, you'll have to pick up the magazine. See also: a detailed look at the Lexus LF-A concept and spy shots of a production prototype in testing. Recent rumors have suggested the Lexus supercar may be the successor to the Toyota Supra. The LF-A is expected to go head-to-head with the 2007 Infiniti GT-R." |

Latest intelligence suggests there will be two completely different cars:
1 - A cheaper Toyota Supra (30-50K)
2 - A 100K Lexus supercar spawned off the LF-A Concept 3/3/2006 10:39:47 AM |

Whats pathetic is that Toyota's FASTEST CAR right now is the RAV4 V6.

I kinda like that blue Lexus concept. The Supra isn't ugly, but it's unremarkable.
That is a serious dearth of performance among the Toyota models though. Especially considering that Lexus, while not currently making anything "sporty", has some serious luxury muscle in the GS430, SC430, and IS350... 3/3/2006 2:23:51 PM |

Another rumour:
Quote : | "Toyota will put its stunning LF-A supercar concept into production in late 2008, according to a report from Tokyo cited by Edmunds. The car is expected to include a front-mounted V10 engine with over 500 horsepower. The car will sell for $170,000 and will underscore Toyota's new F1 connection. The car will go head-to-head with the 2008/2009 Acura NSX, the report says." |
However, most enthusiasts agree that it will have a V8 as that's the future of F1, and will cost around 110K, not 170K.3/9/2006 7:48:31 PM |

toyota did it the right way by not flooding the market with the supra every year
this is where american automakers could take a hint 3/10/2006 12:04:25 AM |
sumfoo1 soup du hier 41043 Posts user info edit post |
american automakers need to stop half assing everything
chevy still has the interior they put in everything in 1991 but they added navigation to some stuff
ford makes cool good looking cars but fucks them up fusion:needs a motor Explorer: needs to not look like a jelly bean 500: needs to look like a big fusion and needs a motor focus: why didn't you bring the rs... and i know you won't bring the st Crown vic: DROP IT FORD.. IT HAD A GOOD RUN BUT NOW ITS DONE Mustang needs: an irs option GIVE ME THE AUSIE CARS!
ford pwns trucks though
and lincoln needs to turn more towards bmw like caddy did they started w/ the ls then stopped stop marketing to the 70+ crowd only.

Prices are only going to get worse. This year has been a big indicator of that I think. I went ahead and got one last year and I havent looked back since. Now for the big factor to pick one of these that are sitting on my bedroom floor. T71 gt4276 greddy t78

The last one is actually my old turbo. The greddy t78 isnt a true t78, more like a 67 with bigger housings. 3/10/2006 8:21:42 AM |

i don't trust greddy i dunno why though
The greddy t78 isnt a true t78, more like a 67 with bigger housings. thats part of it.
its the t-72 a turbonetics or?
but honestly when it comes down to it... the best turbos efficency wise are turbonetics and garret (in reverse order)
a bb turbo from garret will be the fastest spooling & most powerful turbo you can get for the size
