All joking aside, I think it looks awful from that rendering. Worse than the gt-r, and I hate the looks of that car with a passion.

Few things that stick out to me. I have far too little time to dwell on this suck-mobile in detail:

-How in the hell does a two-seater (assumedly) with a 65% Carbon Fiber body still weigh over 3000 lbs?
-That high-revving engine will be about as reliable as a 20-year old rotary, and it lacks HUNDREDS of lbs of torque to be serious, imo.
-What drunk executive decided to price it that high? ("LF-A, I'd like you to meet ZR1...he's half your price, and can kick your a$$ back across the pacific....twice.")

Perhaps it's just not my cup 'o tea....and perhaps I'm being a little harsh -- but please...what a joke.
