Looks and specs are pretty impressive IMO. For the price I don't know if it would be my first choice.

Yet another ugly vehicle in my opinion. Only thing good about it is the side view. Is it just me or are future cars gonna be really ugly?

That makes 2 of us I'd be more than happy to give my SRT 6 away for that.

Well considering its relationship w/ Toyota, I kind of expected it to look like the GTR (sadly). The GTR is one ugly vehicle IMHO. As far as its similarities to the Xfire, I'd also like to point out that both vehicles possess an engine and mirrors....

Toyota has a relationship to Nissan? Please tell us.
Ugly car or not I'd have a GTR.
Similarities? ....... I'll get back to you.

WTF am I talking about?! Anyone (including me) knows that its Nissan/Infiniti...Toyota/Lexus. My apologies for sounding moronic. Scratch what I said...

Same here. I love the way this thing looks more than my Crossfire.

I love my Crossfire, but some cars ARE much better looking and performing that it.

As far as similarities... the spoiler actually reminds me of the ones they put on the Carerra GT. As for the tailpipes, I've seen centered tailpipes on other cars before. Personally, functionally, centered tailpipes are bad in terms of getting things out of the trunk. I can't remember how many times I almost burned myself.

I see it, if you look at the tires they are round like the Crossfires tiers.

not many similarities...the lfa is cartoonish...and even though it's heavy and i don't care for the trans, i'll take a gtr. btw, i think the crossfire is a great design and has hardly aged in 5 years. the concept was even better (better front end, less branded).
