Ronin LFA

The new Lexus is like an ancient japanese warrior without a lord. Powerful, prepared, but with a desperate lack of purpose.

Millions have waited for the Lexus's real sportscar, while the luxurious (and lexurious) coupes SC300 and SC430 didn't fullfill anybody's expectations. They were comfortable, but boring — an unforgivable disadvantage for anything engined.

Years went by; the superlexus finaly has gone into the flesh. And what? It does not fulfill, it does not disappoint. Who will buy it, then? It's not an easy question.

The new LFA model is extremely expensive, but not really pretty nor original. It does a lot of things brilliantly while not having any records or peculiarities. It looks like a heavily tuned Toyota coupe — but its quality level forces us to compare it to the best of the best. This Lexus could rival anything, but it's hard make specific choice, what. And why.

Japanese cars use complicated production formulas and complicated engines. In this one, though, the most mind-gobbling part is a primary concept. It's a car hard to describe. Perhaps, it'll find buyers, that are hard to describe. In a 7-billion society, there must be some lonely and abandoned LFA-men.
