Here's a comparison of the LF-A and the GTR that Motortrend did and accompanying video.

Not really a fair comparison, but the GTR held its own.

I saw one at the Long Beach Convention Center last month. Looked pretty cool.

The top gear episode with the LFA was pretty good.

I can't get wet for this car.

If only it didn't have a Lexus emblem on it. I don't know what it is, but I don't really associate Lexus with fast cars, like I don't associate Cadillac or Lincoln with fast cars.

No matter, it's so far out of my price range I'm obviously not the target customer anyway.

At that price range people are buying name and image. Nobody with that kind of cash to spend on a supercar wants a Lexus. Lexus is for us po' folk.

I'm sure Hyundai will copy the design and sell one for much less.
