Its amazing how Japanese supercars as of late have been so polarizing.

Sad to hear of Naruse's death. At least he died driving a beautiful (imo) vehicle.

Lol. I guess all F-1 cars are trash. I see them crash and burn all the time. It can't be the driver's fault. THEY'RE PROS, BRO!!
F1 cars aren't production cars that any rich person off the street can lease or buy.
If Schumi was testing an Enzo lost control and died it would be another story.
Also there's a difference between a race car driver and a vehicle development test driver.

What's your point again? That some people are immune to crashes; that some are invincible; that some cars are exempt from crashes; that some cars are invincible? Exactly what was the point? Man, some people don't seem to have any brains at all.

P.S. Let me guess your age: below 21? Am I correct?

Oh, I'm sure the Honda supercar in your signature isn't immune to crashes either. If someone crashes it, would you then call it a piece of crap? THINK, man, THINK! God had given you a set of brains to THINK.

"The guy" is Toyota's Master Test Driver. He didn't fall asleep from "countless hours on a track" because he wasn't even on a track he was doing test driving on public roads.

I'm over 21 and you can call me daddy.

"Immune to crashes" nice one genius

I still can't believe you were serious. So you thought that certain drivers and cars are totally exempt from crashes?

From the article I saw, there were no skid marks at all, which could suggest he ran straight into the other car without hesitation or braking, which, in turn, could mean he wasn't aware of what was happening, which, finally, could mean he fell asleep at the wheel. Regardless of the actual circumstance, he ran onto the other lane and crashed straight into the other car without braking. I hate to say it, but all indications point toward being his fault. But regardless, RIP, Naruse-san!

Name one car that has never had a crash. S2000s are the most pieces of crap, simply because there have been billions of crashes from them.

You seem to be quite versed in "flawed logic"


I do love the connection you made between a car accident and someone dying from it... to the car being horrendously unsafe.

that's like suggesting one broken condom that leads to a pregnancy means that using condoms will always get a woman pregnant.

one instance doesn't span an entire group.

Funny how all guys up in arms in defense of the LF-A are either too cheap or can't even afford an S2Ki membership

Keep saving up and maybe one day you to can buy products from a company who has a track record from selling known flawed cars that kill people. I wouldn't be suprised if Naruse died from "unintended acceleration".
Lexus Persuit for Perfection FTW!

What is it about the LFA that brings out the worst stupid in some people?

So I'm assuming that cars are always to blame if the professional driver dies? And no, I'm no LF-A nuthugger..infact, I don't like it....and please...nice try by diverting the subject to paying for membership. Damn, you must be some balla! Able to afford a membership. You sure showed us there!
