Lexus LF-A and GS-F delayed



Lexus had announced the impending delay of the LF-A and the RS6, M5 rival GS-F. Following worries (they should) on the current economic downturn of North American market. Delayed after delays after delay, the LF-A which Lexus claims could 'humble' the GT-R's Nurburgring time (which is almost an impossible thing by itself) could also be due to Lexus engineers couldn't figure out what to do to substantiate their claims, given that the GT-R's ring run was even faster than the Porsche Carrera GT's. We would reckon Lexus might want to cut down on marketing budgets to focus into R&D (and not for the Lexus PR130 - That'll be Prius, or Public Relations); as Toyota were hardly known for stuffs like VTEC, Super Hicas where their adversaries Honda and Nissan had been hard on work for the last 15 years.
