After seeing this, http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...aled.html#more

i dont think it will be anywhere near 90k but way above 100k. It should compete for Audi R8 price tags, look somewhere near a 120k base price. However knowing Lexus, a 150k price tag wouldn't shock me. Awesome car though! I would be shocked if this were at 90k.

Oh well at least i can stop the drooling and dreaming and get on with my life as we all should. One of those "Move along , theres nothing to see here" moments lol

I hope it will have a 6spd manual tranny. Some should photoshop some wheels and different things on this.

Most likely Lexus will have paddle shifters instead of a manual tranny. Lexus does need to build the 3SC......

Fortunately, they made great automatic transmissions while several others didn't in the late 1990's and early this century. That should give Lexus a leg up with paddle shifters vs., say, BMW & Volvo. However, give me a stick shift any day unless you are also going to give me LFA launch control!

Default As Henry Ford would have said,

I can phtoshop it "in any color you want, as long as its black."

I think this car will look sexier with stronger contrast colors like black where the grey is present with a white body. Or leave the grey present with a black body. Very nice!
