Say it isn't so....LEXUS LFA...sold out!!!
If you were wondering whether there was a market for a $375,000 Lexus, wonder no more. Automotive News reports that all 500 copies of the 552-horsepower LFA are officially sold out. Not a surprise if you ask us, considering the fact that there always seems to be a healthy market for ultra-rare exotics with a ridiculously low production quota. But the fact that the LFA is resonating with the European elite is a bit of a shock, as the report claims that one-third of pre-sold LFAs are heading straight for the land of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Lexus even brought eight of the German LFA owners to the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race for some wining and dining. Lexus hasn't announced how many LFAs would go to which regions of the globe, but an earlier Wall St. Journal report quoted Lexus as saying that Toyota's luxury arm would hand-pick which perspective buyers would gain the right to own the LFA. Looks like we didn't make the cut, not that we had the $375k to spend one anyway. Enjoy Story: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/r...-out/#comments |

People need to understand that...someone who is buying the LFA already has a few other exotics in his/her garage and is adding something unique and special to the personal collection...

I guess they are playing off the original Lexus commercial where they had all those flutes on the hood of an LS?

I'd choose the Lexus over the following current hyper-exotics
Lambo Murcielago Lambo Gallardo Ferrari 599 Ferrari 612 Porsche GT2 RS Mercedes SLS (for sure this is an ugly car IMO) Pagani Zonda McLaren (the new one whatever it's called) I'd take a Ferrari 458

Although my exotic soft spot is for the California (I know 2+2, front engine is blasphemous for some but I think the car is gorgeous!).

You need more about this car. It is not a 'normal' production car, with a few gadgets they could NEVER have taken off to reduce the cost. This is about a purpose built as it gets!

Oh I know that - what I am saying is I would have preferred to see something more along the lines of a Supra which would have lined up more against the GTR and you would actually see them on the road. Not in someones collection that will collect dust.
