After learning more and more about this car, the price is starting to make sense. This article http://jalopnik.com/5388538/2011-lexus-lfa-first-drive points out that every single element and component of the car was designed by Toyota in-house by themselves. They relied on their very own F1 technology and refrained from contracting parts/components out to other third-party manufacturers like what other supercar companies usually do. In essence, the article claims that this is the purest supercar ever made available today.

looks great, sounds great and im sure the engineering behind it is amazing too
however i feel like the exterior seems a bit dated (feels more early 2000ish than 2010). The concept looked way nicer

I think the Japanese had supercars in the NSX and Skyline but this would be the first Exotic from Japan.
IMO the Supra is was never a supercar, just a wannabe, ala the Corvette.

And how was the Skyline a supercar?
It was a grocery getter Coupe chassis that had a widebody, different suspension, and a bigger motor with 2 turbos + Atessa training wheels just in case.
Super Cars are purpose built as flagship sports cars.
Viper, Corvette, FD RX-7's, MK4 Supra, 300zx, NSX. The JDM "Supercars" never really stood out as "supercars". They're fast, but by no means a "super car"
GT-R's are classed like the EVO/STi. An otherwise grocery getter Chassis with a bigger motor with turbo(s), different suspension, and a widebody.
This is why the Z is, has, and always will be the Nissan Flagship car. GT-R fanboiz can hate, but it's the truth.
JDM land had thier Flagship sports cars, but This is by true definition, a Super Car.

I think the NSX is considered a Supercar back in its time. The Skyline and Supra are not really a supercar, but its pretty high up there. EVO/STI are just rally inspired family Sedans. The Z has always been, and always will be, the Nissan sport coupe for the every man, I wont call it the flagship car. The GTR would be the flagship sport coupe, now.
I understand your viewpoint because JDM-land never really made many things to rival the big V8 powered Europeans and Americans. Only recently did Lexus tried with the IS-F, now with this LF-A. Which still strikes me as out of the norm for Lexus, their V8s were usually smooth as butter and tuned for comfort.

after so many people wanted Toyota to build a new sports car, then they did the mix with Subaru, but it wasn't a "pure" Toyota. Now they've gone above and beyond, and I think I know why they used a Subie engine for the FT-86, they were too busy building this to come up with a new engine
