Seriously you make infomercial sales men millionaires..

This is what toyota said about the LFA

" whose achievement has been to push the boundaries of technologie"
" The LFA is a thoroughbred supercar, a machine engineered to achieve a single goal – to deliver a supreme driving experience"
" Over the past decade we have pushed every boundary in pursuit of this goal and I believe we have created the most driver-orientated car we possibly could"

Last time i checked, being out braked by standard steel rotors, having the slowest shifting automatic transmission in the supercar world, a 0-60 time that rivals..a 70,000 dollar Chevrolet and god knows how many other much much muuuch cheaper cars, is in no way an example of "pushing the boundaries of technology" and the inclusion of launch control, steering assist and all of the driving aids that take you from the drivers seat and put you into the lazyboy infront of your xbox are not personifications of "Supreme driving experience"

Toyota has some of the highest paid PR people in the automotive industry and have been caught in more than one lie in which brash exaggeration was done to favor their car....

Much like their Matrix being a thrilling car with attitude and will leave its competition in the dust.......

Summary: Just because Toyota says "our car is going to be amazing it'll handle as good as this fifty thousand dollar car.....just trust us"...Does not mean it will...

Much like Mini saying it would beat a porsche..

I understand where you're coming from but they seem like they might be really close.
