Just to retell the story (as it's already been discussed on the LFA forum), Paris Hilton at one point saw the old, original USA prototype (the matte black one that got repainted Pearl White, then Pearl Grey, then wrapped in orange vinyl, then eventually back to matte black, etc. etc.) when it was Pearl White. Her reality TV show wanted to do an episode about her getting an LFA, but the one she ordered wasn't going to be delivered for quite some time - so her production team requested an LFA from Lexus to film the episode, assuming Lexus would give them that same prototype in Pearl White. But Lexus had no idea and sent them P014, so the reality show had to make up a story about why it was Pearl Yellow and not white.
Doubt it, she is/was one of the highest paid DJ's in the world and has a formidable merchandise and licensing empire.
Anyway, I think it was nice that Paris Hilton was someone who was actively driving the car around and bringing Lexus and the LFA press. Which I don't know if anybody here remembers, but Lexus wanted the LFA to be driven by people who would bring it to posh areas and enhance their brand, hence Halo. Does the LFA has any more of a famous owner than Paris Hilton?

but i think so far it's still ok with the car driven by everyday people, that actually gives more surprises when you see one
032, the famous "high miles" black one now owned by a member in the lfa forum with three lfa in his stable. ah... do i miss that car!

So this guy really gets on my nerves. Granted, I've only watched him do 2 reviews: a Carrerra GT and the Ford GT. But he goes on and on about how well the cars handle and he's barely pushing the speed limit. The Porsche, I understand, as it was on public roads with stoplights. But the Ford? He was on a track weaving back and forth talking about how it sticks to the road and the scenery around him was barely moving.
Love his enthusiasm but he embellishes a bit too much for my tastes....
He's literally just sawing the wheel back and forth talking 'bout "OH MY GOD THIS IS INSANE!!! ITS ON PAR WITH ANY SUERCAR IVE EVER DRIVEN!!!111JUAN!!!!"
