Look, i like the LFA. It's really cool, its fast, its exotic-like and its a Lexus...which means a lot to me. If I had the 375K sitting around I'd buy one. I just think the front could have been made to look better. Its not ugly but its not as attractive as the rest of the car....not as attractive as it needs to be for 375K. IMO.
I would still buy one. If I had that kinda cheddar, I could get someone to mould or fabricate something to improve it to my liking.

If you don't like the front end that's cool. I think it looks fine the way it is. It doesn't need to look like anything but what it is. If it were more like ferrari or Lambo, it wouldn't be the LFA. I've learned to appreciate cars for what they are. There are some that aren't the greatest, but then there are some you just have to look at as a whole and appreciate the package. The LFA is one of those cars for me. The Nurb edition I think looks even better. The front lip spoiler/splitter and the side canards give it that race look, then the rear wing and the different style wheels all make it more attractive in my eyes. I hope someone in the US options for that model and shows it off!

So now we have confirmation that US of A is receiving 175 LFA.
My guess was 171 to be exact I was quite close:

No biggie to me. I'd still buy one if I had the cash. Either customize the front of get it in black. Then I'd put some sweet wheels on it that take the attention away from the front.
I know how to make it right.

Making it worse for me is how good the prototypes looked up front. Beautifully shapes headlights, grill and facia. The they make the real thing look like it doesn't belong to the rest of the car.

On the topic of styling, yes while not everyone likes the front of the LFA, it still looks FAR better than the 458 front end IMHO. I think it's pretty hard for anyone to argue that the 458 front end looks better than the LFA.
I'm also getting really tired of hearing about the SLS. It's an over-hyped car, and I bet Benz must be paying huge dollars for the car to be so hyped everywhere.

AutoExpress UK will be doing Lexus LFA versus Porsche 911 GT2 RS comparo. They said the magazine will hit this thursday.
They did not include LFA in the "car of the year" since they say it is "too rare, too expensive and too extreme" for our comparison:
Anyone getting this magazine?

I like the "too extreme" part. The more extreme, the better in my book.
