LF-A is a good start. Develop first a halo supercar and then use the technology, experience and development of engine, suspension design etc. to trickle down through Lexus cars.
Lexus has been trying to please the performance oriented people without losing their core customers that demand stale, numb and uninvolving driving experience. That is why Lexus GS and IS failed to make an impact in the young performance oriented crowd since they are too stale, numb and boring.

Create new performance oriented cars that are start out as performance tuned cars and make them daily drivable rather than taking a normal commuter car and trying to making it feel and perform like a performance oriented car.
