I hate to say this... but the gtr looks better to me. This car is an eyesore, I respect its performance but thats it.

Yeah, I mean, the performance is awesome, but not staggering. I realize part of the price is driven by the relatively low production numbers, but it's like it needs to be ligher and/or higher HP and/or have a higher top, or _something_.

Maybe when it's tested it'll floor me, but when cars like the 458 are cheaper than a Lexus, the L better be doing something EPIC, beyond just falling into "status quo" supercar numbers.

LOL @ 375K. I'd take an Italia 458 100x over if I was in the market.

Love the interior and the rear, not feeling the front end.

$375k is absolutely ridiculous, but if total production run is only 500 units, they will move them to 500 rich enthusiasts around the world for their respective collections.

It's a halo car for Toyota as $375k x 500 units is only $187,500,000 which is nothing for Toyota. They spent way more on production of the car, I would imagine.
