    Which exotic do you think its cool?

    Is it the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG?

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbcDfZXSxP4"]YouTube - Driving the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG on Forza 3[/ame]

    Or is it the Lexus LFA?

    Nasubukan ko na tong dalawa thanks to Forza 3 Ultimate Collection. Base sa inyong observations, ano sa dalawang kotse do you think it's cool?

    I don't have the ultimate collection so unfortunately I haven't driven them in the game... Pero I would take the SLS AMG anytime, pedigree pa lang eh. Merecedes-Benz VS Toyota??

    :bwahaha: no racing video game can compare to the real thing.

    anyway i haven't driven both, but i've seen both in person. i can say that the LFA is really some thing, the build and quality is top notch it doesn't feel like or even look like toyota built the LFA. how toyota built the LFA is really amazing, but no matter how impressed i am on the LFA i'd still take the SLS over the LFA any day.

    If only the LFA was priced below the established manufacturers of super cars, just like how the GT-R is priced below the 911 Turbo's. The LFA is terrific, but at the end of the day it's still a Lexus, and if one had won the Grand Lotto I'd take an SLS AMG + another car over the LFA.

    the GT-R can only compete with super cars because of it's performance. the build quality is still average, when you get in the GT-R you'll see that you got what you pay for. unlike the LFA which has a really great build quality, like i said it doesn't feel like or even look like toyota built the car. the quality and finish of the LFA can compete against any other super car. if it was only $100-150k i'm sure it will sell easily instead of $375k.

    I think the LFA is a better choice because it has a better performance in the track and i like the noise. The only downside is that it is very expensive and rare. It costs over $300k and only 500 will be bulit.

    As an "exotic" ... I would choose the SLS AMG.

    It has the brand heritage, luxury, rarity and performance in one package.

    Why SLS AMG?

    Eh mas powerful ang LFA kaysa sa SLS AMG. V10 engine from the LFA is much better. Engine noise of the SLS seems harsh, pero OK naman.

    you were asking which exotic is "cool"?

    "cool" doesn't need to have more HP.

    Is arriving in this...



    ... then doing this...



    ...more cooler than just arriving in just another expensive sports car made to go insanely fast?

    Did you know that yung seatbelt airbag (I'm familiar with Ford's) developed by Takata will be on the LFA?

    Uh,

    Mukhang retro naman yung SLS AMG IMO, pero you had your point...

    base on the looks and history if the manufacturers, i choose the sls amg, iba yung dating ng sls amg , its got prestige. the lfa is the first supercar of toyota, im sure marami pang bugs yan, the lfa is a very good car on the track but so is the sls amg.

    Eventhough some people relate LFA = Toyota, I believe LFA is pretty high up there and is on par with Ferrari with their first supercar.

    Still, meron parin stigma na Toyota so I'll get the SLS. Then again, kung nabanga ka...

    You: "Boss, meron ba kayo dyan spare parts para sa Toyota?"
    Bossing: "Ay, madami po sir.. at competitive prices..."
    You: "Nga pala, LFA pala yun kotse.."
    Bossing: "*#$%^&"

    First time nahirapan kumuha ng supply ang toyota :D

    I don't know... I don't actually have the jollies for either, though I think the SLS is prettier.

    Toyota can make exotics... one of the most jaw-dropping classics on the road nowadays is the Toyota 2000GT.

    It's just that the LF-A doesn't really push the right buttons. Might be the styling. Can't be denied that it's a very special car.

    Give me a Lotus Super Seven and a private road. Cheaper. Happier.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Or even just a 2010 Nissan Sentra 200 2.0L, a spare set of tires and a nice private road. Jollies to last a weekend (or until the tires go bald).

    Or a Prius. I could drift a Prius all day and be happy with it. It rides better than a Sentra, too.

    But the Sentra's CVT and diesel-like torque are addictive. This thing is mega-quick and mega-eager. Like a little puppy with the legs of a mule.

    Man... it's a shame NMPI took so long to bring the Sentra in. And it's a bigger shame that it's Hecho en Mexico... if it were locally produced at a competitive price... and if it had come in back in 06, there would be more than... (looks around) six... on the road right now.

    Oh well.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
