this guy goes into a lot of the details (many many things i didn't know about the car) - definitely many quirks, but i absolutely LOVE this car!!!!!

i still rate it as one of the greatest cars of all time in looks and engineering.

 

i like how people will immediately write off the LFA as bad value since the GT-R has better performance numbers for a fraction of the price, but considering toyota lost A LOT of money on each LFA they sold, i think it's really a pretty awesome value. GT-R also sounds like crap (for those that have never heard one in person it sounds like a civic) and is far less exclusive and awesome looking than the LFA

 

I like watching doug demure, but he is a much better writer than he is an actor.

 

doug demuro gets under my skin for some reason unbeknownst to me. he's super annoying -- qualified, but super annoying.

 

at 16:30 "It's surprisingly fast"

lmao

 

Nice car overall, but the reviewer............



Also, some of the strangest transmission-shift controls I've seen yet.

 

i don't recall seeing any mention of the gt-r in this video?

 

yes i've disliked some of his other videos but i did appreciate his enthusiasm, info, and surprise in this one.

 

the enthusiasm is definitely there, but a lot of the details are just off. the fact that in the first few seconds he said "2011" lfa...

 

People just dont get this car, similar to the GSF and to a lesser extent, the LC. What most people dont understand is these cars have character and personality or "soul," whatever that means. It is easy to make a blazingly fast car, but its hard to make a car that talks to you and makes you feel a certain way. And I think that's what a lot of the German cars lack these days. Clinically fast.

 

Airbag seat belt... who knew!?

 

The integrated airbag in the seatbelt was a cool innovation

in use, it is somewhat heavy and stiff relative to a conventional belt

 

well wikipedia says it was a 2011 model...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_LFA

i really don't know, what other details were off?

 

I think all 500 LFA's are 2012 models if i'm not mistaken.

 

If only I could afford one. What a dream
