LF-A is cool and what not, but the Celica is on the more reasonable level for the 'regular' guy & it's something we sould see a lot more of on the street

I actually have, but I still don't think it will match up to something like an LP560, which is in the same price range. Of course there isn't a set price for the LF-A yet, but we'll see what it goes up against in its range.

How much faster is a LP560 than a "standard" Gallardo? Because I think the LF-A will flog even the Murcielago. At the very least, an LP560 and LF-A ought to have a similar power/weight (forget that if the LF-A makes it's target sub 3000lb weight ) and if the rumors are to believed, the LF-A will have a 17-18mph top speed advantage.

Well if we're talking top speed then sure it could be faster there, but I'm saying overall performance, I.E.- handling, braking, 0-60, etc. I have no doubts that the LF-A will be a beast, just dunno if Lexus has the "driver's car" feeling down quite yet.
