The old design was pretty darn nice and wouldn't look all that bad if introduced as a "new" model with minor tweaks and never having seen it before. This new design is dissapointing.

im not a fan of hybrid sports cars but i bet electric motors of the future are gonna make the gas swilling engines used today look rediculously archaic and underpowered.

They should just make it all electric with a different approach than tesla. Big electric power in a mid-weight car instead of low output in a small, lightweight car. I want 400 ft lbs @ >0 rpm

I really wish we could repeal the law that all-electric vehicles have to be ugly.

The car in the Motor Trend article is the FT-HS from the 2007 Detroit Autoshow. So its more like the LFA is a reworked FT-HS
