That looks like the RC.
Perhaps the refreshed GS won't debut at Geneva.

LFA won't be depreciate any time soon.
Also if actual performance determined depreciation, half the collectors market would be overpriced.

500 made? Yes the rarity is a good point...but judging by the horrifically slow sales (we're 3 years past the MY now) I'm not going to count on that one either.
Sound? Uh...you're reaching. I'm not sure that's enough to make a car appreciate.
Most cars that appreciate did something special in the market place- that's what I mean by performance. The vast majority of collector cars did just that. The LF-A was just...there. I don't think it's going to depreciate like a rock or anything, just merely staying steady in value. It's just not an iconic car like say...the Ford GT or Acura NSX. Unless you're a Lexus enthusiast that is, and if you are then the LF-A was a incredibly fantastic first effort.

Japanese supercar automatically equals appreciation? First time I've heard that one.

EDIT: Found a used one on cars.com for under $300k with almost 8k on it. This car really reminds me of the SLR.

Back on topic; I think the comments about the vehicle being "range-orientated" is interesting. Maybe it will preview the next iteration of the L-Finesse design.

So do we know if the LF-LC is going to be more of a S-class coupe or more of a 911?
I've never read that the 2000GT was slow selling, just that it set FIA world speed and endurance records. 
That car did tons for Toyota and the Japanese auto industry in general. Totally different situation. It is considered the first Japanese supercar, after all.
