Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?

[MidMazar]

I think its a decent design, no espirit,diablo or enzo though. Does anyone know if this is their replacement for the supra? Was the new supra project canned by toyota?

If tamiya,fujimi, or aoshima make it, i think it would be a nice model to put on the shelf.

It is not the 'new Supra'...if it was it would be in the $35-45.000 range instead of the LFA's $350-400,000 range.

Toyota has been preoccupied being the new General Motors...too busy building SUV's and letting their quality slip as well as getting in financial trouble.

Yes, its really quite odd Toyota has finally released the LF-A. Probably because they've spent so much time and $$$ on it. Either that or the rich haven't been quite affected by the global downturn of the economy anyway.

Not to get off topic but what about the FT86? Definitely a sign of the times where Toyota needs to team up with all companies, Subaru. Its too bad they're using a flat-4 power plant. It goes well in a Subaru but shoved in a Toyota!? Personally I would've still like to see a Yamaha or similarly developed engine in there.

Tamiya LFA ? ..no ,a new kit ? Impossible !

I think aoshima .

The front is reminiscent of the original monkeemobile but i'd go for the fujimi version.

OK, you've just made it much cooler for me. But nah, I'm not buying it. Come to think of it, I can't think of any design in the last 10 years that I like enough to buy a kit of....

Your a crazy man!!! E46 m3, audi s4 and the new bugatti veyron?

[MPWR]

Meh. The M3 and S4 are just not as cool as the versions that came before them. And as impressive as the Veyron is, I still can't get myself to actually like it.

I'd love to see an E46 or an E90/92/93 M3... but I think BMW must not like giving out licensing or its just too damn expensive for the plastic kit companies to be worth it. An M5 would also be luscious too (I just love them sporty 4-doors).

Other notable cars I'd want to see... Koenigsegg CCX-R, Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, Pagani Zonda R, etc. etc. etc.

Well, the design is not outstanding, but certainly not the most ugly. At least it would have been acceptable if presented 20 years ago as a futursitic design, while many of the cars of today would have looked old at that time.

Very Much, not enough bimmers as models....only those damn ugly, crappy made (autoart is the exception) diecasts ....

In short, YES! (Let´s just hope that Tamiya does´nt model the pricetag....)

[WRCfan]

It's still just an overpriced Toyota, this is one that will for sure be left on the shelf by myself. I prefer to build kits that have earned a place in motoring history.

[auw12]

Absolutely not.
