The same could be said about a lot of cars it. Its really a matter of opinion. I own a lexus myself, but I am not bias when it comes to cars due to what I own or what brand. I can however tell you that owning a lexus has swayed me more towards loving this car just because I followed what went into it. Sure, as far as performance in a straight line goes, it is NOT that impressive only beating the GTR by minimal feet in the 1/4. But, it seems this car will decimate on the track with what has been speculated (not confirmed) 7:24 on the nurburgring. Anyways all 500 have already sold so it would appear that the 10 years lexus put into this car paid off.

maybe owning a 400k lexus is ridiculously stupid given the fact that you can get more for less. But at the end of the day, its still a remarkable piece of engineering.

We can buy 4 GTRs with what one LFA cost, Red, White, Silver & Black and still have money left over. The sad thing is that the GTR with a few upgrades will have the LFA for lunch.

And a Lexus LFA with a few upgrades wouldn't? Have you ever read in detail the engineering, technology, materials, etc that goes into making the Lexus LFA?

It's not just about "my car gets from point A to B be quicker so I win" in terms of what renders a particular automobile exciting, admirable, etc.

People make old POS Civic hatches ran quicker than 100K+ cars all day long. Still I’m sure the 100K cars (beaten by the Civic hatch) have many other attributes which make them far more desirable own, drive, etc.

really gets down to what a person wants versus function versus cost. I'm more a function versus price point person so I'd most likely not buy a Loyota. Nice commercial though, thanks for posting.

so LFA, or:

Either a 599 GTB, 458 Italia, two F430's, or my personal favorite...a 458 Italia and a GT-R with still around $80k to take care of TTL and Insurance for a year or so.

Bottom line though, if you are considering a lexus with that pricetag, you probably aren't going to have to compromise much as far as what's in your garage, so the price is almost irrelevant. I doubt whomever is buying these can just barely squeak by the payments and buying this doesn't limit what else they are going to get

The car already cost $400K+, How many more upgrades it would need?...
