$375,000 + $70,000 = $445,000.

Nonetheless, impressive for any car. I've always loved the fact that the LFA was made as a high revving, RWD, naturally aspirated V10 Engine.

There's something special about high performing, high revving naturally aspirated engines...

I would complain about the lack of a manual transmission, but I know that the market share they were targeting probably wasn't too big on MT as well. Hell, I probably even wouldn't get it in a manual. That's reserved for something more track-oriented like the GT3. The LFA does a great job of performing exceptionally well without making it simply for the track.

Crap I didn't even think of the F Blue. That would've looked awesome as well.

Good question! Maybe a tie in to the 2006 Team Lexus IS350 GT2 car? I think the IS300 version was also in the orange family?
