Lexus LF-A - new Supra?

sspicollo8 · 01-29-2005, 12:08 PM

So what's everyone's opinion on it? There's been a bunch of rumor that a new "supra" would be comin out as a Lexus, so do you guys think this is it?

One word. UGLY!

Funky! Interesting to see what Toyota's up to these days. I've been pretty ambivalent about them lately.

No thank you that is ugly. I don't like all the futuristic looks companies give their concept cars.

i agree with everybody. also what the hell are those fans for under the tailights?? look closely at the 3rd pic. very odd.

I would say they are part of some sort of crazy brake-cooling ductwork. Just a guess.

The car isn't terrible- but those ghetto ass rims really take away from the car's purpose, whatever the hell it might be.

All the new companies have different cars coming out with different shapes and forms. Just look at the good ol Caddy, The CTS, STS, SRX and Escalade have the same face except different body sizes. Toyota took the old supra and fixed it around to what you see there, you can see from the front that its a supra, but you wont know til it comes out. My 2 cents.

New caddy XLR is awesome though, my friends Dad just got one( he owns a huge company and there stock increased by something crazy like 98% in the last few years, its Steal Technologies if anyone cares) but back to the XLR its freakin awesome, thats all I can say.

Mid or Rear engine possibly explains that. Just like having fans in the front of your car to cool your engine. Porsches have fans in the back like that. (btw i havent actually seen the photo you are talking about)

new "super cars" arent really making any real headway as far as styling goes in my opinion...seems like only a few cars look orginal. i like the rear end, roof, and mirrors.
