I prefer this front end to the previous very low placed headlights.

One thing their supposably going to make a hybrid version, or it might be only a hybrid, got that from Leftlanenews.com, from what they say the 440hp can do 0 - 96 km/h in 4 seconds or under so, now to figure out the weight. In the end that would be still in the range of the new Nissan Skyline GTR / Porsche 997 Turbo.
We still have a while until the Tokyo Autoshow anyways, I can speculate all I want LMAO
So the car going to be like 3,500 pounds (1.75 short tons)

What are you talking about, from the looks of things...it's going to look like an IS/ES...
Whatever Toyota/Lexus decides to do with the production version, I'm sure it'll be fantastic...You guys need to stop saying "I hope this" & "I hope that" when is the last time Lexus let you down? Also, look at what happened with the last true sports car that they had...the Supra, I am by no means over-hyping the Supra but you do have to give credit where it is due.
I would just like to know price range, general release dates!

the previous front end always looks pretty dorky to me. This one looks more promising. Personally, I don't even care if it's L-Finesse or not. I am still hoping for a V10, I am not worried about it's hp though, but hope it has great handling on the track to go with it.

wow!
Looks like they kept the triangle exhaust layout.
Hmm, MR eh? There's a vent behind the door. Hmm, but then again, there are vents on the hood lol. N/m, the side vents are probably for aerodynamics. The headlight design looks weird though. Looks like a Le Mans car.

recent BestCar and Holiday Auto magazines are reporting that Toyota is working on a Hybrid "Sports Car". I think this will be the sport version of the the Supra successor. So a mainstream 3.5L V6 with 350HP and a Hybrid V6 with 400+ HP.
I think this makes sense if the LF-A is a V8. Earlier reports from Japanese publications were that the Supra successor was going to have a V6 and a V8. However if the LF-A is going to have a V8, Lexus will have a hard time justifying the price(est. 100K) if the V8 Supra successor roughly 45K has basically the same HP output (450-500).
