Default Silver LFA being delivered to customer (Atlanta)

I was looking for flipside in there??

Here is the video of the silver LFA being delivered to a customer and being helped by three Lexus reps. Looks like it still needs to be prep'ed:

Thanks for sharing the video.

A few thoughts.

Demographic, looks to be a late 50s early 60s guy.

The delivery scene. Strange that the car is in an area surrounded by cloth walls. I wonder if this was not at a dealership (like some warehouse near where the guy lives)?

Previous cars, my guess is he has/had/liked the 70 silver on red vette motif. Now that he is more mature and better resourced is enjoying the fruits of his labor, LFA style.

I think it is more of an informal look at the car since you can see the plastics and tags are still on the car. The owner is just checking his car out, but it is not yet prep'ed for delivery.

Otherwise, commonly the owners sometimes opt out of the whole delivery prep'ing and request to take the car in its factory condition.

I agree he looks like someone who worked hard all his life and finally in his golden years is looking forward to enjoying such a masterpiece.

Nice find...

Looks like they are in a closed off area of an Atlanta Lexus Dealership.

The other White ones ended up in Houston & OK City.

Got informed Atlanta got a LFA. This is on the site. I wonder how they decide who/when gets the LFA. Atlanta was not considered a primary market but a secondary one.

The first Lexus LFA Supercar in the entire USA is on its way to Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta. The proud new owner, who is a self-professed car aficionado, is a loyal customer of ours. The chosen colors for this initial LFA are metallic silver with red interior and black accents. It should be amazing. Check out this link to see the LFA as it comes into the country: http://kaizenfactor.wordpress.com/ or select the LFA links above to get more information on this awesome vehicle.

Looks like it is the silver one Ryan took pics of.

The point about Atlanta is confounding.

I visited the other big dealer in town, Nalley in 05 and they are huge.

Atlanta is the LA of the East, no useful public transportation, crazy commutes and a huge car culture.

I was told by an LFA product specialist that the order of production would be determined by submission of the customer's LFA order (excepting of course the ordering by paint color category, i.e., standard colors first). So the first person to meet with a PS and submit the order would be first. Of course, it's impossible to know whether this is true or not without Lexus telling us.

I was also pretty surprised that Javier Quiros wasn't the first to get an LFA, but his preference for #14 helps explain it.

Thanks. I will try to find out more about this LFA and hopefully can get it to come out to a meet one day.

If you see that silver in real life, it is just simply stunning. Watch the other videos (by Lexus USA) and in the sunlight that color has the most crazy shine out of all colors.
