I just think them differently and I do know my share of the LFA history as much as I do with the NSX and RX-7 as you pointed out (I've written thesis papers on these.)

Apparently I can't seem to get my point across through typing on here because people seem to read them differently as I do. Maybe if we had a face to face talk, it'll be different but in no way am I disagreeing with you.

I do on other hand, agree that Toyota butchered up their F1 team. If they hired better engineers and staff that are veterans maybe Toyota could of won some races. It's pointless to have a big F1 team that has an unlimited checkbook if you can't win any races compared to Ferrari who has a small, tight budget team but manages to win championships. I'm surprised Toyota tries so hard every year, then again, F1 is a very complicated race series.

Ferrari does not have a small F1 budget by the way.

Toyota did very poorly in F1 and Lemans after spending millions of Yen to win both. NOT ONE WIN after trying for almost 10 years in F1 and Lemans each!!!! So we get an overpriced Toyota supercar to celebrate this fine racing record? This car will not hold its value unless someone from Japan buys them all(maybe Toyota themselves) and gives them to all the Toyota excecutives as a slap on the back for a job well done.

Like I said, I can't get my point across through the internet. Typing it up and talking about it in person gets different reactions. So no, I won't go further into this.

That depends entirely on how you present what you are trying to say.
You didn't just give up on your thesis writing because you can't get your point across in typed words, right?

Also i heard toyota is really selling these to people who will drive it, not to people who will buy it and throw it into the garage. I don't think many people will get it whos plans are to flip it in a bunch of years.

I thought this was a model car forum ? This discussion could be moved to the Lexus or Toyota forum. I'm just saying.

yeah. lets just leave it to the experts and motoring gurus whos best and whos not. im sure most of us here dont have that much money to spend to buy those cars anyway.

McLaren F1: maybe a suggestion for Aoshima, given their recent offerings of hot new cars and historics.

Photos of Tamiya's LFA kit are up at the company website.

The kit looks good, but doesn't seem to exceed Revell's 458 or even Tamiya's own Enzo kit, despite the LFA kit is supposed to be their all-out effort, asking for 5250 yen!
