Message	Toyota is loosing it and is very late to the party. The most exotic thing on that car is the price. 10 cylinders are out dated technology. BMW and Audi tried them and is phasing them out, the Viper pioneered it more that 10 years ago. Even Ford had a V10 offered in trucks. V10's are no longer exotic, just odd. A compact V8/V6's with twin turbos is where super cars are going and of cource Farrari and others will always use a V12 becasue of their history and sporting nature. Seem to me the profile of the LFA is Z'ish. Remind me of the Apple Lisa and Apple IIgs. What a stinker! It doesn't even have all-wheel drive and at 3300 Lbs it no light weight despite the "carbon fiber" construction. Corvettes and Porsches make that weight using more traditional materials. . http://www.icsamerica.com/zstory
