Default Sporty Lexus(or Toyota) caught testing (6 series figther?)
Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else but I came across this article and I thought clublexus would want to know about this. I'm new to the forum and I wasn't able to find a "general" forum to post non-specific car information so I just thought to post it here.

I can't wait for the LF-A to be shown at the Tokyo auto show!

He's not necessarily new just because he has 3 posts. He did sign up nearly 2 years ago.

Could be the Crown, but the car in the pic is a 4-door.

That crown is a BEAUTIFUL car. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I wish we had that car here (in 4wd) instead of the ES.

Is Toyota planning a 6-series fighter or am I late again?

you're late again...

and they did that intentionally, used a 4 door as a TEST MULE they shortened the rear doors to throw people off, but it's supposed to be a coupe.
