"The engine spins so quickly that Lexus says it had to use a digital tach because an analog version couldn’t keep up."

Looks like they took this car back the drawing board way too many times. Too many ideas but no direction in design.
The car just looks...busy. Both on the interior and exterior. I just can't find the lines in the car.

I love it. I don't love how it looks, necessarily, but it goes like stink, it looks decent, it's wild, and the interior is gorgeous. This car is amazing.
If it holds up remotely as well as a typical Lexus, you could easily have Ferrari performance with Toyota reliability. Sure, it's $150K more an F430 Scuderia but...wait...never mind. I'd probably take the Scuderia for less money. It won't be as reliable but it takes a lot of Ferrari maintenance to eat up the $150K difference in price.
