Of course, it's possible that dealers will choose to showcase their LFAs on the showroom floor. This is a personal choice no different than an owner allowing a dealer to put his LFA on the dealer showroom floor, or for example the LFA owner allowing his LFA to go on display at the Chicago Auto Show.
I don't mind that dealer owners are getting units before other non-Lexus related buyers, so long as the order of production matches the time of submission of the LFA orders.

The black is an amazing color for the LFA, but I was surprised how much I loved the yellow (it was my first time seeing it IRL). It's a very photogenic color.

Thanks to Gengar for the configuration clarification.
Here are a few more tidbits that fell out of my brain since taking the redeye home Monday night.
Confirming what was mentioned somewhere else, Bush, Hamlin and a third racer will be getting LFAs and will have to pay for them.
The woman owner who participated at Infineon received the car as a gift from her husband. I am told she is really into the car. At this point we are still looking for a woman owner who bought the car herself.
The car for Memphis dealer will be white and for Philly dealer will be red.
One of the Lexus folks at the event was in social media. I was grumping at her that Templin never responded to the question I got to ask on the Lexus Ad Board about the lack of a convertible with a real back seat. She said she will follow up. She also said they have been clamoring for more coupes and Lexus corporate has balked because they only want global products.

I'm still in the process of going through the 1,300 photos that I took on Monday & Tuesday. Rest assured I'll be putting some high-res versions up on my site.

Bonus points for the LFA for getting pro racers as owners.
The dealership owner in my session was also getting a red one. He said it was current on the boat to the US port.
I was also looking for space to store my golf bag in the LFA but it does not have any, unless I use the passenger seat. Maybe I'll have to simplify my game down to using 2-3 clubs only
, then I probably could put them behind the seats.

What you really need is a bulkhead of wipes, just in case any fanboys are around. All kidding aside, the trunk could be used to store your helmet, driving gloves, and shoes instead! 
Car is coming soon, correct?
