Interesting Marketing of Lexus LFA
 

REPORT: Lexus to lease - not sell - all U.S. LFA supercars in order to foil speculators — Autoblog

looks like a wanna-be GT-R

As stated by me, many many moons ago, got flamed for it, haha

Best view of the LFA so far. :tup:

that front end looks way to busy

More like it looks like what Japanese supercars will look like for the coming decade. And have you read the specs on the vehicle, Ricky? :shakes head:

I think its ******* hot, personally.

got a face only a mother could love. coupled with a price tag rivalling the top of the line ferrari and lamborghini and porsche and aston martins. not to mention lack of heritage, pedigree, or brand name prestige. time will tell how fast it is, but unless it gets ferrari enzo or mclaren f1 performance, i cant see anyone paying close to half a million for a lexus.

The lease rumor was proven false.
What they plan on doing is you buy the car, cash or finance, Lexus is going to hold the title for two years I believe. This is done as an insurance to the car so that they do not hit the use market and destroy the "exclusive" nature they are hoping to achieve.

If I had one supercar to buy, I would want something with a manual shifter (like the Vantage V12).

However, if I had a five-car fantasy garage, I think this would be in it.

this

yeah, just did, per AUTO BLOG "The specifications of the new rear-drive Lexus supercar are: a 4.8-liter V10 with 560 ps (552 bhp), 354 lb-ft torque, a zingy 9,000 rpm redline, six-speed sequential gearbox, 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 202 mph."

and $375,000, its way outta my league:shakes head:

I would take this over a gtr anyday!

+1

but I would take an F430 with a H pattern 6 speed over both.

Its a $400,000 lexus.
