Default HOT Lexus LF-A Speculation Pic

I think this looks HOT! Enzo'ish front, but distinctly the "new Lexus style." Hopefuly the rear scoops will look better...but the front is I guess we will know in a couple weeks.

Is this the disguised "Supra" we have seen in another thread?

The LF-A is just a concept.
Just like the LF-S
LF-C
and the LF-X

the CGI on the mag cover looks like that "Supra" camo-prototype around from a couple months ago.

Way too Modena-ish. Even if it IS the best aerodynamic shape out there and has been proven multiple times, Lexus will get jumped on BAD by the media and the consumers.

I don't see any Modena in it. That car is front engined, with small rear radiator or hybrid electric vents.

Modena has oval radiator vents, and much larger rear intake channels.

If nobody complained the C6 front looks like the 360's then nobody will say anything...except the Toyota haters, but they aren't in the market anyways.

I'm obviously not a Toyota hater, and I'm also not a Vette hater but I do think the Vette has 360 and Viper cues in it. But look at the front scoops, the high wide shoulders, the wheels, the low skirts, the upper scoops...it might just be me. Nothing agaisnt it, the Modena is one of the best looking cars ever IMO I'm just saying what I see that's all. LF-A--->Modena--->great looking car.

I'm not seeing any Modena bro, but back on topic
http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=101466

I hope it is 3000lbs, car must have an ASF and aluminum body.

IMO, seriously overpriced especially for a front engine layout.

Not bad. I hope the real one looks better though. I'm not feeling the wow just yet.

But thanks for the first speculation pic of the LF-A ever.

I hope that looks nothing like the actual concept because it looks just like a cross between a Civic and an Insight.

On closer inspection those headlights and the side scoops and thick doors smack of the camo'd Supra.

I doubt that's the LF-A Lexus cars are never introduced until the auto show and to find spy shots + test mules of Lexus cars is not easy either. Like the Lexus GS it was unknown how it will look until it was shown in Detroit there was no spy shots or anything. They are very secretative from what i've seen.
