Lexus LFA gets crystallized for the Fashion Week in Milan

They are doing everything, but actually producing the car.

I realy think they are gonna make it, its Akio's project. And now that he is the President at toyota, he won't kill his own idea!

I hope they make it. It'd be interesting to see the impact on the Lexus brand. It's a really elegant design. Especially the interior. It looks more upscale than the plasticky one Mercedes put in the McLaren.

not really....
the mclaren had leather all around, and the lf-a has lots on plastic on the console if you take a look.
yeah, the mclaren is way overpriced compared to its competitors, but since the lf-a doesn't even exist in production form, the lf-a is a complete embarressment.

Lexus has been participating in art projects for a long time. they do this Milan thing like every year. Couple years ago they used a LS600h to make a pretty cool art display.

LBQ, you are delusional, anything Lexus will never be able to match anything BMW, or even German, BMWs are naturally superior and are much more fabulous. Although I don't really know, that's just what my fashionable friends tell me.

I thought Lexus have finally decided to make a exciting car, but where is the actual production car? If it's just a concept just let it die, like million other concepts, because there's nothing to look forward for LF-A if Lexus aren't going to make this car.

This fashion week stunt just speaks volumes that Lexus is a wannabe! Crystallizing some car that is not even in production, this is just a bad marketing schtick and only devalues any upscale brand representation that lexus does have!

If it weren't for the LF-A nobody would be speaking about Lexus. That is why they keep the vaporware alive. Even the IS-F did nothing to improve lexus' image. They are still cars for the blue-hair crowd.

The LF-A (or lack of) is making lexus look stupid.
