Also I didn't even know the engine was built by Yamaha and the 3 companies I just mention builds all of there engines in-house. If I had the money I would rather one of the 3 makers mention but if this car was priced in between them and the GT-R it would've been a great car for the money. It seems like every site I go on there is so much fanboism it's scary.  |
Suck a ****. It's worth it to the 500 people who spent the money to buy it and that's all that matters. I am not a fanboy, I am a gear head, one that really appreciates special machinery and I am one of Toyota's biggest critics.
You haven't driven one, much less seen one in person I'd bet, and the conclusion by the people that have seems to be that it is indeed worth every penny.
If you are coming here (and FT-86 forum) to argue about 0-60 times and such, it's likely that you won't be around for long, but whatever. It's usually the fanboys themelves who cry "fanboy" when somebody steps up and presents something in the correct light.
Fact:
Toyota did indeed create a supercar before. If you don't consider it one, fine. That does not change another fact; Just because it's their first doesn't mean they had to price it to make it accessible to everyone. Nobody told Konigsegg that they couldn't price the CC8 at $350,000 their first time out. No one certainly told Pagani that they couldn't price the Zonda C12 @ $320,000. The LFA is quicker and laps faster than both.
What's scary is that you can't recognize what's a great car and what's a "great car for the money".
That is all.
