I really take my hat off to Lexus. That looks great. A friend of mine was driving through Georgia last week and actually saw a silver Lexus LF-A on the back of a 20car rig. I didnt believe him until we went to the site. He is automotively inept but swore on his mothers grave that was the car. DAMN!!

Well, just to let you know, the RX-8 has had a 9k redline since its debut 4 years ago, so the 9k redline never left.

But that Lexus looks sick.

WHERE'S THE GEARSHIFT LEVER????



It'll be an amazing piece of technology, I'm sure. But I think it'll leave me cold when it comes to driving involvement.

I'm sure it is that ipod wheel in the center console. This new Jag has it too, you just rotate it to gear select. For parking brake, you push it.

Sadly, enthusiast cars with straight drives are becoming a rare breed. No amount of power or technology will replace the joy of a manual transmission for me.

The design to me looks like a mish-mash of Ferrari, Lambo Gallardo and R8 and it is completely uninspiring.

It looks like natural design evolution of the S2000 in 2015, particularly the front. The three part grill, the headlights, the the slope of the hood.... Am I the only one that sees it?

Looks great and everything, but Lexus is burning this car, they should finish the LA-F first, put the damn thing in the market and kick the GT-R butt. instead they are dicking around, releasing pics and concepts LA-F roadster with 9k RPM.
