Lexus LF-A ...... You must be worthy!

is it just me or is lexus really full of $hit? I mean, they have no prestige, no heritage or pedigree like a ferrari or lamborghini, they have literally ZERO experience building supercars, yet not only do they charge a price higher than almost all other exotics and almost puts it into hypercar price, they also get to choose who is good enough to earn the honour of getting one of their sacred cars.

Ferrari does that too regularly with their most exclusive models, and yes they are snobbish jerks but at least they earned it via decades of dominance in motorsports, formula 1, and supercar scene. Lexus is what? Just a company created about 20 years ago to make nothing more than rebadged toyotas with a few extra luxury items inside and a huge markup in price just to jack up toyota's profit.

-"Hey bro, did u get that lexus u wanted?"
-"No they didn't approve me. So I went and bought the ferrari instead."

also, one thing i couldn't find out is if that 350k is the out the door price, or is that without the lease fees, interest rates, document processing fees, dealer prep fees, and all those other BS "fees" that are always added to the typical lease or finance agreement.

amen brother. They need to earn there respect and prices first. I know I wouldn't walk into a room and say "Screw all of you I am king now". They will realize this when their numbers wont produce. The thing is most of these mulit-millionaires/billionaires actually will be turned off not by the car but by the company's lack of respect and achievements. A few will buy them but I think most will say " Hey get in the back of the line rookie"
