Here's what I don't like about the LFA:
1) It's not particularly beautiful...too overwrought
Here's what I like about the LFA
1) Everything else
The engine is unbelievably fantastic. The crazy tech inside is great. The work they put into carbon fiber process is amazing. And it puts down good times...even if it isn't the best.
This car (as well as the Bugatti Veyron) are what large companies like VAG or Toyota need to be doing. The reason is two fold:
1) They provide a Halo car for a brand (at least for Lexus...for Bugatti they are the only car...although that is supposed to change).
2) MUCH more importantly, it gives engineers from those companies a fairly open check to create some really amazing tech that we can hopefully see in future cars in some form down the line. Toyota needs this. There lineup is as bland as it comes. Hopefully some of the tech used in the engine, chassis, and body work will see its way down into less expensive Lexus and Toyota models at some point in the future.
