I just received an email with this hot new pic...looks like Lexus is quite serious about bringing this car to market.

That is one HOT looking car! Any idea on specs or price?

Said to be $150K roughly and hundreds of horsepower...I think they are going after the entry Ferrari and upper end Porsches.

that's a pretty nice looking car. i wonder if those tailpipes will make it to production though.

I dont doubt they can build a super car but does it fit with the brand image

any other pics of it?

That is very nice!

Where are the door handles? Are they on the horizontal parts of the door?

I hope not, because they really detract from the rest of the look, IMHO.

That's a fine looking car, and I like Lexus vehicles (especially the GS/Toyota Aristo and IS/Toyota Atenzza), but for $150K I'd be buying a Ford GT or AM DB9!

"but for $150K I'd be buying a Ford GT or AM DB9!"

DB9 sure, but the Ford GT has all sorts of quality problems. It's a lemon. See the story in Car & Driver this month.

Eh, I agree with what you're saying here, but you can't always go by magazine articles.

I'd still rather spend my $150k on a Lexus/Toyota than a Ford.

I like this concept. Hopefully they'll put a real manual transmission in it. I wish my SC4 came with one

BTW, AM=Ford. See the new Jag coupe. It screams Aston front end. Sexy looking car.
