    OK, I’m no big Lexus design fan (exc for the GS, which is not too bad looking), but that thing is beautiful.

    Agreed, beautiful, but as usual... a beauty that will only be shared with the 1%.

    $100K+, the styling per dollar quotient is decreasing. Inspired styling, by what? For this price I expect different from the 61 Plymouth and Nike swooshes we see on others. Sadly, the design field is so full of sycophants now that this is spreading. Gotta give some credit though, it is a fairly brave entry.

    A 10 speed transmission? Really? IMO 6 speeds are enough to span legal speeds (and then some) when matched to an engine with a decent power band. Anything beyond that is a recipe for an auto trans to spend too much time hunting between gears.

    Remember your first 10 speed? I do, I was 12 years old.

    52/48 weight distribution? BMW has had near 50/50 since day #1 in their 3 series

    Sure, but you wind up using 3 or 4 speeds, even with a 15+ speed. And then everyone (re)discovered fixies....
