Man, big design hints here from the latest batch of Ferrari's....can any manufacturer not go with one of those really low grilles?

Is the LF-A really going to be produced? The Acura sports car I think is canceled. The same fate might have met the LF-A.

It looks like an Infinitied-GT-R. Not exactly a bad thing. It's just that they smushed it.

And boy, that badge is gigantic!

They should get rid of the huge logo on the grill.

the LF-A is really far along. They even raced a mule at the Nurburgring 24 last year. It woudl be really surprising for them to not see i tot production. The honda, by comparison, didnt have any mules to my knowledge.

I thought it looks quite good. Nice lines....just that C-pillar looks odd...

The Honda/Acura mule has been running on the ring for a while now....

That is a really good looking car... only except for the rear quarter glass. I don't get it.

This car strikes very well with me for some reason. Really like the combination of the vague bulge to the front and the way the back and front flow. Odd trunk though.

Any idea if/when it will be produced?

just get rid of the grille, as said the proportions are excellent.

I think that if anything, I think this woulda been the concept car for the canned Infiniti GT-R - unless that is back on again.

I have a feeling this car will not be seeing showrooms in this economic climate. The hybrid thing strikes me as odd however.

Yeah, but to my knowledge the Honda's been canned.

Yeah, seriously. The Aviation thread? :D

I thought I read something that this is pretty much a concept only, but will probably serve as a design cue base for the next gen of cars from Infiniti....

The hybrid in this car I think was Nissan's first in-house system(Altima uses the Toyota system). So its a logical progression...
