Is it just me or are cars getting ugly?
Not to say the LFA is ugly, but I see where you're coming from. New cars are too big in general and look like pigs.

You have lots of room to complain coming from the 1980's S2K gauge cluster.

s2k size or smaller is a perfect sport car.

I want to like this car and there is a lot of cool stuff tech wise crammed in it - the gauge cluster being one I really like - but it looks like an unfinished prototype to me. The only "polished off" part is the wheels/brakes. The rest looks like a test mule and that goes for the entire front end that looks almost like its a front hiding the real deal.. even the headlights look like stickers with their akward shaped flat surfaces..

Doesn't much matter though - Im sure 85% of these things will end up in the UAE somewhere - in for pics of one trashed on the side of the road in Dubai with no plates (which was bought for 5x the price of the car) and left for a month.

Interestingly enough, these parts are the parts developed/produced by outside manufacturers (Brembo, BBS, Bridgestone), along with the engine note, these are the only things I find attractive on this car (we all know the performance is lackluster). Ironically, none of them were soley Toyota developed like they market to the fanboys who would suck the exhaust out of the tailpipes if they could.

"intrestingly enough" you forgot to mention who made the sound and nav system, who molded the power windows and lock switches, turn signal stalk mounts, lug nuts for the wheels, shocks, springs, glass, headlights, turn signals, seat fabric, interior lining, steering wheel, logo, floor mats, seat belts, airbags.

people need to stop nitpicking when toyota/lexus says they built everything in house. when they say in house they're talking about what constitutes a car.
