I have not seen it in person, but I totally agree with you.
IMO, the LFA is doing great things for the Lexus Brand's image. Maybe I am a little bias, but I often find myself daydreaming about the LFA while sitting in my IS. I hope some LFA's DNA will get into next gen IS and other Lexus's sporty cars.
G Star, thanks for feeding my need to read anything LFA... I think I have grown to love the final exterior styling, so I am glad that Lexus did not go with the original design on this car.
the LFA touched me like a child molester touched a child... my life was never the same... haha jk.
Agreed, for that kind of money I will buy TWO Ferrari's and impress the neighbors TWICE as much!
I am not sure what brand new Ferrari you can two for this price? A base model stripped down entry level model (Ferrari 458 Italia) is starting from $250,000. If you have ever seen the interiors of Ferrari, you would know base model means well, base model. Nothing in it. You have to pay for everything on top of that.
Once they start to nickel and dime you for a comparably equipped Ferrari 458 Italia to Lexus LFA, the price difference with be slim to none and the maintenance cost differences compared to a Lexus will be another thing.
In the end, after hearing tons of F430 and F360 flat-plane crank engines in real life, LFA sounds 10 time more exciting and soul stirring. The only exotic that comes close to LFA in sheer aural pleasure is the Porsche Carrera GT.

Cannot believe i actually saw one of these in person today.
I drove down for an interview at Toyota's Headquarters in Torrance CA earlier this afternoon.
And as im sitting at a stop sign on the Toyota campus, i hear this incredible sound from a distance. At first i had thought it was some other exotic like a Lambo or Ferrari. But it was a gorgeous white LFA
I sat there holding up traffic just to watch it cross the intersection in front of me.
This thing was pure sex on wheels.
Damn shame that my Blackberry's camera is busted!!!
