Yeah its all by first come first serve and who ordered first.

From what I was told, all the Canadian bound LFAs come through the same location where the American LFAs are devanned down here in SoCal.

A gentleman just posted pics of his new LFA on 6speed from Vancouver. I am assuming that this is car number 2 in Canada and the first of 6 going to Vancouver?

He also has a new 458 in the garage. Will be interesting to see his opinions on them both.

Good find. The picture show 2 Pearl Red LFAs, so that would make 3 in total? I've heard a white one was due as well.

07 that's two pearl reds in Canada. Time to switch it up bro or did you decide on the color yet? Must admit; the pearl red looks good in that lighting. Hopefully we will get to see more detailed pictures.

It could be three pr already, the picture on 6spd showed two, and we saw one in Toronto. . I think I might have to settle with the regular red with some sort of exposed CF in the mix.

He he, my daughter would like that a lot. Too bad, she does not legally drive for another 11 years.

Nice, i may actually have a chance of seeing an LF-A in person since Erin Park is relatively close to an area i drive to a lot for hockey. Sucks no one near me in New york can afford one of those haha

Interesting.

The gentleman just posted that the other LFA belongs to another dealership owner (car #22, his car is #23). Seems to be a lot of dealer cars thus far. Really makes you wonder how many cars were actually sold to regular consumers.

He only has 400 km on the clock on his 458 and 50 km on the LFA so no real comparison is available. He did say he'd update us once he's had them both to the track with his impressions.

400km won't even exceed the rev limited break-in period!

Excellent choice! Big fan of 'regular red', lol.

I actually saw one with the exact same color as well, except it had Alberta plates. I guess there are now four LFA's with the same red?

I'll try to get the pic of the Alberta plate LFA as it seems that guy hangs out where I usually hang out as well!

Don't bother she is not there anymore. I only work 5 min. up the road and dropped by yesterday at lunch time. Reception said the owner took delivery late last week.

Love the pearl red.

I still think you should go with BLUE and Exposed CF. To many RED LFA's in Canada.

Congrats on your BLUE beast. Can't wait to read more on your experience with your LFA and additional pics would be cool too.

The blue LFA looks great, but somehow I can't see myself in one. Maybe Gengar should post a ton of pics and video of his car so I can get some ideas
