Lexus LFA?

So, according to Autoweek, there are some 60 unspoken for LFA's available to buyers in the U.S.

Let's just say you have $375k burning a hole in your pocket that you're dying to spend on one or more cars.

I think I'd rather have a Ferrari 458 AND a Carerra GTS for the same money (maybe even have some change left over).

Anybody with me?

I'm with you.. plus, I can't see paying that much money for a car with the possibility that the throttle might stick open..

Toyota certainly has lost the 'reliablity' blue ribbon..

I'll take a '12 GT3RS, '12 F350 Dually King Ranch Power Stroke, & a 40' Goose Neck Race Trailer. And I will still have about $100k sitting in my pocket to track my GT3RS at every track in North America. my .02

I thought you could only lease them and that was if you met their requirements. Perhaps there were not enough eligible people................

Didn't know they made 12 3RS's, but I get what you're getting at and it sounds like a good investment!

Nice car, but stupid expensive IMO.

At the end of the day, you're still driving a Lexus.

Never mind that the performance figures just aren't that great compared to other cars that are much cheaper like the 458, or even a 911 Turbo S.

The car should be 160k

Max, and even then I would not be a buyer.
