Idk, I just heard somewhere it's just a way to show what they can do.

As for Leno, he really is interested though. He builds/helps build cars in his OWN garage/warehouse, he drives classic cars that he loves, and goes to Auto Shows. He really is the biggest car guy of us all. If he had just too much money, he wouldn't have bought a classic Europa. You don't buy a Lotus to go through cash, you buy it cause you love it, right?

I still hate his new show. But either way...

So, for that kind of money, who would choose a Toyota over a 599?

One of my customers pre-order his a couple years ago when they first announced it. He his the very rich, doesn't care much about cars type of guy.

So 1 down, 499 to go.

I am not sure about the price, but Toyota has definately made a strong fundation for supercar, the 2nd one will come much quicker, maybe next Supra...?

Definately about time for something like this. The price I'm not too keen on.

Though shiny things tend to catch my eye, I'm happy with an Aston Martin as the next ride.
