I really like how they have refined the F logo for this car. It looks a little cartoonish on the IS F in my opinion and they really did a nice job touching it up for the LFA.

I'm now realizing the cheaper, sexier Ferrari 458 Italia is faster in every single way. Hm. I mean it has 2 more horsepower, goes 1 mph faster, big deal right? But the Ferrari is 200 pounds lighter. This car is FAR from Zonda and SLR hypercar territory as others have claimed before. My feelings slowly waning...

This car is tooooooooo good. 500 units worldwide only? No way, Lexus should at least make 10000 units.
202MPH is disappointing but I wonder if this is the true top speed, or the advertised top speed. For example, the IS F will sail to over 170MPH if I recall, but is "electronically limited" to 150 or whatever.
