Why fail? There hasn't been a gas pedal issue on this model, yet.
I agree, but all of the Supra (and most import) fanboyzz have been drooling over the very thought of this thing ever since the Nippon Giant started talking about a Poopra replacement (even though dream of affording one!!
).
But, almost $400K for a TOYota??
NO THANKS, even if it did make a Veyron look like it was going backwards and sideways (which it does NOT!).

People that spend that much money either want a horse or a bull on the emblem of their flashy exotic car.
Well I'd disagree.

They weren't Cadillac either and thankfully they aren't now, just ask any Lexus owner.
I'm interested in implementation, not "mystique"

Ferrari is still highly competitive in F1,Toyota left with a whimper drowning in failure.Now they want to compete with an engine in the super car class
I think Toyota is barking up the wrong tree trying to compete with a car that is a pure bred,a long company history of super cars to back it up and is cheaper to boot.
I say good luck to them and the Red Sox.

Industrial equipment that is driven 247 or produced in small volume.

I, for one, would take a CTS-V over ANY AND ALL of your precious TOYS, oops, I mean Lexi!
Yes, even this one, unless I was forced to take it and then sell it on a markup to a Nippon worshipping fool, and get a ZR1, and a CTS-V for daily driving, and bank/invest the rest.

YES!!
The Nippon Giant proved their fallibility on a WORLD stage, despite pouring billion$$ of their Camry/Corolla profits into the effort!!
I LOVE IT!!
It was such a spectacular, face shaming failure that I'm suprised Seppuku was not called for by Toyoda himself on the motorsports directors.

FAIL
I couldn't possibly disagree with you more. If I had the money, and if this thing came in stick, I'd buy one in a freakin' heartbeat.

Overpriced. If it was under $100,000 then it would be acceptable.

It's not a mass production. The price is high because the cost of R&D is spread over a small number of units as opposed to millions in a typical mass market car. And even then, they probably don't make much on it, if anything.
Toyota came out with it to make a statement, to show that they can, not to make money off of it and not to sell a lot of them. If the price was set at $100k, they probably wouldn't be able to make them fast enough.
Toyota is trying to create a more sporty, less boring image for their Lexus brand so as to distance themselves from something like a Lincoln but also to steal clients from Mercedes and BMW. Whether it's the right strategy - I don't know.

OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
The Ford GT wasn't $400K............
+ 1 on the CTS V. Proof that when an American car company gets it right they really get right in a big way!
Awesome luxury driver with some real supercharged steam under the hood,and at a great price.
IMHO truly a contender for the "best sports sedan" in the world 2010.
