Frankly, I don't care if he gets it, he doesn't have an Enzo nor any Ferrari's either from what I've heard.
But if Lexus wants as much exposure as possible, they should actively try to sell one to him.
From my understanding he simply does not like Ferraris or the image of them. He really likes McLaren b/c its a brand and car you really have to "know" about.
I think the LFA is like that. Either you know about it or you don't. Thus I think he has interest.
I read an interview with Jay Leno a long while back where he said that he walked into a Ferrari dealership and they treated him like crap. He doesn't like their sales tactics - i.e. need to buy used ferrari first, etc. I doubt if he will like Lexus' screen and lease deal any better.
I think he has a long list of cars he's more interested in (just because of his prior ownership and affinity for these brands) - mp4-12c, sls amg, 918 if it gets built and the granddaddy of them all - an F1 successor. All of these will cost big bucks to buy and maintain so even a rich guy like him will prioritize where his money goes.
