I agree!
the LFA was a money loser from the start and Toyota knew that. Although they had each of the 500 units spoken for before it's actual release date, they lost money on every unit....they built it from scratch....no cross platform sharing.....and ten yrs to make!
This car was a test bed and now they are going to use this experience, ideas and technologies to build high performance sports cars.
Now that this car has been released, received world wide praise from the automotive industry, journalists and the public, no one will be shocked when Lexus builds and releases a high performance sports car.
Lets face it....when we all heard that Lexus was going to put up a sports car with a base price of $375,000...how many times did we hear "what were they thinking, who the hell will spend that kind of money on a Lexus??!!!"..."For that money, I would rather buy....."
Toyota is a very smart company.....and I personally think we are going to see some outstanding sports cars coming from them in the very near future.
