Well ..  

Conclusion : It is as fast as a LAMBO .. but 3 times more expensive, and as fast as a GTR, but 7 times the price, with Toyota LOGO.

I like everything on thise LFA .. but the look .. and ..  well .. the price .. but it doesn't matter to me anyway ..  lol (And Toyota will not SELL it, but LEASE, and you have to own LEXUS before)

Just gimmick and marketing ..  I have been driven Lexus for ~ 10 year now, ( IS/GS/RX/GX ) I still don't like them much, and think they are over price here, not as reliable as people expected ...

Not sure how many will come to Canada, but only 2 to Calgary, so Vancouver should get just 8 to 10 I guess.

They are talking in UK GBP ..  LFA is $375 GBP, 485K US, and $600K Cad.

But .. those are just "projected" price, Toyota may just want to yell up a sky high price, to tell people they are super car brand ..  it is all about marketing. (like the NSX, which I still think that is the nicest looking asian car, this LFA, more or less look like a riced out celica, which is not bad, but not exotic enough.)

Money money money!!    With hair, who wanna be "la lay"ar .....   at least, Lexus still more reliable then most European brands ... and their service cost is low.

(By the way, GS 400 is the only Lexus I like! Even I sold mine 6 year ago, but I still like their style!)
