Lead Lap
Episode 2 had Jeremy driving the LFA through Nevada and California; turns out he decided it is his new favorite car. The episode was pretty comical. I just hope this isn't their last season as Jeremy hinted at during this past episode...

The episode was really good. JC was heaping all sorts of praise for the LFA, even James May said it looked "absolutely epic" in yellow.
Clarkson on LFA: best car I've ever driven.
If he could have any car of his choice out of all the cars in history, he would choose a dark blue LFA.
HIGH praise for an amazing car, already a classic! Lexus has a huge task with the LFA's successor, I hope they can even make a better car than the LFA.

I love the LFA a lot. So much, that I recently described it as the best car I’ve ever driven.
Naturally, this caused both [Richard] Hammond & [James] May to scoff loudly. Mainly because — as they kept pointing out — it costs £359,590. That’s nearly five times more than a Nissan GT-R which, if anything, is even more technical. It’s way more, too, than a Ferrari 458 or a Merc SLS. It is, they argued, a stupid price.
But they’re wrong. Arguing that the LFA is too expensive is like arguing that, at £100 billion, the Mona Lisa is too expensive.

Yup, it's a nice send off for the LFA which has completed its production run already. I wonder how many LFA haters have been converted into lovers since its introduction.

Interesting thing is that on paper, the Viper should have smoked the LFA but the LFA was faster than the Viper in an actual drag race.
I also wonder how an LFA NE would do on the Top Gear test track in dry conditions
