Now here's a car I really want, the Lexus Lf-A. Beats the hassle of importing a Supra or Skyline. At 500HP, its the highest horsepower rating from any Japanese car company since they’ve abandoned a decades old gentleman’s agreement to limit horsepower to 280 ps (roughly 275 hp). One small problem- if Lexus decides to produce a car based on the LF-A, it would be priced around $125,000. Bah! Here's to hoping there's some trickle-down technology from this car that makes it to the Toyota line at a more affordable price.

C'mon Acura/Honda! The NSX is a decade old! Surely you've got something under wraps?

You can always get a BMW M5 and get 500hp :) Or a Corvette Z06!

Its not just about the horsepower, its about being Japanese horses. Ya, the M5 is a helluva a car, but you're also paying for German service every other month. And then I'd have to stop bashing people who own Beemers. And the Z06 is probably the cheapest way to get tons of horses, but its an American car. Uh... no thanks.

I agree, Japanese horses are by far the best on the market. Japanese design leaves Americans in the dust. In my opinion, every time an American new design hits the show room floor, it’s a couple of years behind the curve. No to mention, I’d feel like an ars driving a Zo6. Word Association, Corvette = Mullet!

I know someone with a mid-90s Benz V-12 coupe that apparently would cost $10,000 a year to maintain if not for the extended warranty.
