See post #1. More photos to come...

 

i was thinking the same thing. if they figured a lighter color car would show better on camera, what made them think that color in fast 5 is good

 

Sesame street? big bird got a new whip

 

Serious! Now come to think of it...that LFA in Best Motoring is Big Bird!

Damn. Ronald McDonald and Big Bird are rollin'! LOL

 

hahaha yeah selling all those big macs will buy you ANYTHING u want....and big birds was a tax write off, you know "for the children" hahaha

actually when i think about big bird i think about this car, hell i even remember the issue of modified mag

http://www.modified.com/features/020...gtr/index.html

so u gonna drop the bomb and tell us which magazine?

 

So is it TopGear USA where it will appear???

 

I wish the Top Gear UK guys would pick the LFA for one of their specials ala the New York special. Maybe one set in Tokyo?

 

They need someone who can ring out the best of it, not some journalists who short shift it and don't know how to use Launch Control *cough/ InsideLine...

 

My guess is they don't have the time, shop or budget to do it.........wrapping a car nicely aren't that cheap.

 

Top Gear UK guys don't think much of any Japanese cars........even the LFA.

 

I don't think budget is the problem, Fast Five has a $125 million production budget

 

Well, they did include LFA in the "Greatest 5 supercars of 2010" alongside 4 German and Italian cars. It is also The Ex-Stig (Ben Collins) favorite car on TopGear.

 

you think ff5 paid lexus for the lfa?

 

Don't know , maybe they just borrowed it, or pay them a fee to use it for filming for only a limited time? But I'm sure they could have bought a couple of LFA's for the movie if they really want to, and if Lexus will sell them the cars ...

 

oh i am sure they could buy the car if they wanted, i am just wondering if they paid anything to have the car in the movie. i always wonder who contacted who first
