Thanks for the update, Rominl.

Did he say anything regarding his plans for his new upcoming LFA or the upcoming Car and driver feature on his #003 Lexus LFA??

not much words on the CD feature

he does have a few plans for his new LFA in his home town and from what i heard it's pretty amazing. i think it only makes sense if it comes from roy or lexus directly. but the important thing is he continues to support lexus and this car tremendously. lexus needs more owners like roy

Thanks. I think Car and driver must have made him sign a confidentiality agreement that he would not give out any details???

Anyway, great to hear he is still has a lot of passion for the LFA and wants to continue promoting the car with so much enthusiasm. Considering he has owned Ferrraris, Lamborghinis and Audi R8 etc., it is amazing to see how passionate he is about the LFA.

simply put, i think that says a lot about how good the lfa drives. it's just such an easy car to drive (in a great way), inspires tons of confidence, and at the same time does exactly what you ask it to do.

and this is in all kind of conditions -- dry, wet, track, street, open roads, in traffic (experienced all that). i think that is big part to this car. anyone can argue all day long this car isn't exotic enough, but driving this car should be the way to appreciate what lexus has done

Wow, those are great pictures.

Even the LFA crews color matched with the #500 LFA

Now Lexus need to get working on an affordable exotic/sports car for us mortals

Very nice pics Joe. Bittersweet moment for Lexus but hopefully the lessons learned with the LFA will filter into cars all of us can afford.

Now that LFA is no more. I officially, no longer have a favorite exotic supercar since there is no in-production car that really inspires and thrills just by viewing and listening to footages like the LFA did in the last 3 years. LFA joins Porsche Carrera GT in my archive list.
