With the exception of a few people (less than 0.01% of the population or even less), everyone else would be more in awe of the Ferrari's than a Lexus. Sorry! but a Lexus (any Lexus) will never be elevated to the status of a Ferrari (or a Bentley....). A Lexus is at best a middle/upper middle class and the 350K+ price tag is overpriced from either the performance or status symbol perspectives.

i wasnt aware that the car was even being delivered yet. i thought it was coming early next year.

I will spend that money on an used LP640 Coupe, a BMW X5, and GT-R.....

I just watched an episode of Battle of the Supercars, it was the LFA versus the V10 R8. I think the LFA is a sweet car but not worth the money. I would rather have a LP640 or a 458.

I think it's ghastly, the Camaro looks better.

disclaimer: by no way am I comparing performance just looks, and yes I know the lexus is designed to look like a flashy supercar and the Camaro is not. With that said, it's still ugly.

ME.

If it came in TARGA I would definitely get a ZR1 or Z06 for that matter.

Even worse tho is that the LF-A is essentially a Z06 competitor.

Nice car. Worth around 75k IMO. A lot nicer cars for a lot less money.

The LFA did not get a lot of attention at a recent car show I attended.

The LF-A is another reason why Cadillac needs to simply bring the CIEN Concept out as a new XLR-V with 750HP and a $250K price tag

Michael_Js · 10-19-2010, 10:49 AM

Wow! That's a cool Cadi!

I'd take the 458 Ferrari over the Lexus any day!

Buy a ZR1 with the change

Exactly, economics 101. The value of an object is what people are willing to pay for it. As they sold or leased or whatever every one they made, it's priced right. Possibly even underpriced since they had them all spoken for before the first one was built.

Don't kid yourself, the lfa is not a z06 competitor. Maybe in performance only, but beyond that the lexus is a far, far better vehicle. It's an exotic supercar, not just a sports car. . .

Listen to that thing.
