Saw 3 or 4 of these at Top Golf last week. They all had manufacturer's plates, of course. Looked great, but definitely thought they were LFA's at first glance.

There was one at Supercar Saturday a weekend or two ago. I bet if you drive by the Lexus Corporate office off of Diehl and Washington (Naperville), they are parked out front. All of the employees there have MFR plate cars.

Lexus has been overpricing their performance line now for a couple of years. I don't think this will sell as well as they are hoping. The Lexus GS F, that is an absolute beast isn't moving AT ALL.

In fact there are still 2016's on lots brand new going for 20K under sticker. The sticker was 87K to begin with which is laughable and they aren't holding their value as well as they thought they would.

Interested to see how this pans out.

I really can't figure out what happened with Lexus. In the 90's, especially late 90's, they had some really cool cars. GS400 was 300hp and sporty as hell in ~1998. Even the original IS300 was pretty cool.

In the last 15 years their cars have gotten uglier and uglier, and more and more boring. You drive a Lexus, and then get into a German competitor, and it really blows your mind that anyone is even buying Lexus.
