the LC-F has been cancelled sadly...twin turbo v8 was at the end of its on road testing before being axed. i never agree with how Toyota manages their performance sector, but i guess they'll never understand why the HEMI and Hellcat sub-brands saved Dodge.

Because it would flop hard. Their entire lineup from the GS and up is tanking, nobody wants to drop more than 60 grand on a Lexus.

i don't think so...the LC-F would kill the M4...the problem is, Toyota/Lexus would probably price it way to high is the problem. Supposedly they're putting the V8TT into a humongous SUV and probably going to charge top dollar for it.

For me it was the Mark Levinson stereo that got me interested in Lexus but it was enough to visit the dealer and look inside a car. Plastic, plastic all over the place and strange design in the car = NO GO.
