Surprising they have the LFA front and center on their page.

New LFA review from EVO UK:

http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetev..._uk_roads.html

"The noise" , he does it twice .

I doubt the reviewer has compared the LFA to a 599 out on track, but he likely means it doesn't "feel" as fast, likely because the LFA is probably more comfortable.

A fairly objective review that does not unfairly criticize the car's price, and a nice description of how sharp throttle response is.

That is the first vid I have seen that a driver was really pushing the LF-A, really having fun with it.

I have heard enough of this debate. Nothing to do but wait and see.
Besides, it's not really selling for 375K if they are lease only.

"On the Road With the 2011 Lexus LFA"

http://www.insideline.com/features/o...lexus-lfa.html

UK reviewer...gives positive on-road impressions, says it's the best supercar interior there is...finds the price not really a big deal...discusses how uniquely Lexus it is. Also more comparisons with the Carrera GT engine.

That is Chris Harris a GREAT reviewer for EVO magazine. It hasn't hit news stands yet. It is by far the best written review yet on the LFA.

The magazine also has a sidebar interviewing the chief engineer on one page and another with the LFA vs GT-R argument where they summarized it isn't one, LFA all the way.

I was going to start a separate thread so thanks Encore!

You know what would be a great commercial for Lexus?

The show the LS parking between the two pyramids of champagne glasses and you hear in the distant background a high pitch whine. As the sound gets closer the view pans out and shows an LFA winding around a corner on to a straight which the LS is parking. As the LFA roars by at full tilt, the champagne glasses rock over and shatter.

Ending tag line. "Breaking our own boundaries Lexus F"
