I don't understand why people are saying "it's still a toyota"....the Vette is still a Chevy...so what? It's still a marvelous car and runs rings around most others and it leaps and bounds away from anything else "Toyota/Lexus". I don't see a reason to knock it for it's manufacturer's name...now the PRICE on the otherhand....

People are saying this because of the price, not because of the car.
My buddy had a R8 V10 for a week a while back, went for a few rides in it, and while I've never been in a LFA, with comparable specs I can't see how Toyota can justify that price tag.

People dont say that because Toyota is @!#$ty, people say that becasue 400K for a toyota is unrealistic. Ferrari and Lamborghini can get away with those prices because they have a name that people will pay for. Toyota will have a hard time selling a car for that price.
