It looks great from the side, but from the front, hmm it makes me wonder. It just doesnt do it for me. The headlights lines are not proportional to those of the car.

Right on!

^^^ yeah it looks good, as FOXHOUND noted - a flagship model like a NSX-R rather than anything that'd sell. Supras were cool because they're were afforable twin turbo beasts.

Specs wont change much, shape will. And it's not sure to be a Lexus - they will make the car and then (or during that) decite if it's a Lexus or Toyota ...

I don't see why they would bring it to market if they know they'd lose a bunch of money - there has to be an economic reason they're doing this. so what i think is that either this will not go through as a project, or it will go through and be serious competition in its class offering a better "bang for buck" or some other performance-for-cost advantage to make up for its lack of a reputation as a serious performance-car-manufacturer.

Needs a more aggressive nose IMO. I think there are some serious hints of Celica in the shape which I think Lexus needs to move away from.
