This should be, at worst, 6.8-7.0 sec.
Yes, insurance rate is insane for people under 25, but it's not the real matter.

The Lexus has a 2.5L V-6. I think realistically the car will weigh ~2900-3100 lbs with the needed safety equipment and a proper interior. Also, Toyota will want this car to get AT LEAST 30mpg in the base; that doesn't come without any trade-offs. I would rather be pessimistic and have Toyota surprise me once they announce the production version.
