Just FYI that show is actually called the Tokyo Motor Show, probably so that people don't get the TAS acronym confused with Tokyo Auto Salon.

I agree though, the LF-A, while an amazing piece of engineering, just doesn't do it for me. Much rather have a Ferrari.

That's a really hefty price tag for something that doesn't really look its price. I've seen the concept in person, looks great, but not 375K great.
People with that amount of money to throw around are least concerned with which is a better buy and more with exclusivity.

I really like the Ft-86, but they really phoned in the layup on the rear pseudo diffuser.

LOL, that looks horrible.
I'm sure the production version wouldn't have that carbon fiber piece.
Even if they do, it'll look much better than that.

I would argue that those types of consumers would opt for a ferrari or lambo vs a lexus.

I would argue that they already have opted and thus will buy one of these just for the rarity.

Besides the 86 and LFA of course.
