Its Lexus of Kelowna.... I'm unsure how they would scam you..

I was thinking the other way around, no dealer would stand a chance against a Nigerian prince.

Yup. I truly don't understand the morons that just don't "get" this car either. Everything but the transmission is wonderfully engineered.

They just kind of rushed it out the door/ran out of budget apparently and the transmission was the last piece; they were actually well into working on a dual-clutch tranny for it I heard... [according to interviews with people involved].

The engine is an absolute work of art (which is really all that matters for any car above a quarter million dollars where price starts to lose total relevance). Idle to redline faster than any other production car engine in history. Enough said...

No offense pal but people listing their opinion on the car does not make them a moron just because your opinion differes from somebody elses.

Also I choose not to get this car as you say because I have no interest in it nor will I ever bother to spend 300+k on a lexus product if I had the money regardless of the power and engineering.

IMO theres much better looking and performing supercars in their class that would be worth owning more.

Seriously, You think a brain dead hot bodied blonde would go OMG nice lexus.. no... Shell know exactly what a lambo or ferarri is and itll get you more ass anyways haha

Near car but definitely not bonor worthy. The only people loving this thing are grey haired white 60 year olds, lucky sperm club asian kids, and Toyota/Lexus fanboys.

and to some people it's not the amount of ass that they get from a car lol... can it just be appreciated for it's engineering marvel and design? If it's not your cup of tea thats cool as well, to each their own!

I wasn't referring to you or anyone specifically, I've seen people ragging on the LFA in several different car forums.

Of course there are better performing cars. That could be said of ANY desirable car...

ANYONE can buy a fox body mustang and make it a 10-second exotic-car-spanker for a pittance. SO WHAT?

Those people do not get that *especially* in the "above a quarter million" price bracket it's not about price/performance and looking at it that way is just... moronic.

There is no specific value proposition when considering the value of a "work of art".

As for guys like you that see these kinds of cars as just a means to the end of "getting more ass"; you certainly will...

But it will mostly be of the brain-dead variety

hahaha just my type

It definitely has some nice touches but as a complete package the end product seems to be less than the sum of its parts as performance-wise it's outclassed by much cheaper cars, some not even exotic.

There really isn't a car on the road that you can purchase for <$250,000 that will beat a used 40k C6 Z06 with fresh Michelins... on a track.

Once again, performance loses it's relevance as budget goes up. Past benchmarks like a 911 Turbo or a Z06, you're really just buying more prestige, badge, exclusivity, intangibles, and "artistic merit".

Personally, having a V10 that revs so fast an analogue tachometer couldn't keep up in a sexy/exclusive road car would be worth the dough for many millionaires -- and I'll bet it really doesn't bother them that my Z06 is faster (or any other car).

[clemmy26]

Again, for those who don't like the car, you just don't get it. Duh.

id rather get a 458 italia or adventador for extra money on top

[soobad]

I agree that it's not good value for the money.

I do like the side profile & loooove the sound it makes in a tunnel.
