Default Lexus LFA Apperance in WA 5/28-29

There will be two chances for people around Seattle, WA area to see the Lexus LFA up close and personal this coming weekend.

On Saturday 5/28, the Lexus LFA will be displayed at the E@RTC exotic car meet, from 9am-11am

http://www.exoticsatredmondtowncenter.com/

E@RTC is a weekly exotic meet help at the Redmond Town Center parking lot. Do expect to see the Lexus LFA to be park together with other exotics so you can compare the cars with each other.

On Sunday 5/29, the Lexus LFA will be displayed at the Ste. Michelle Winey in Woodinville from 12pm-4pm

http://www.ste-michelle.com/events/w...ndarDetail/401



Again other exotic owners will be attending so do expect to see a lot of nice cars together! There will be food trucks available on site as well.

Both events are free and all participants are welcome. The Lexus LFA on display will be the production black #032.

From what I was told, this is the first time the Lexus LFA goes to the Northwest region, so it will be a great chance to see the car in person!

We spoke in person at Infineon and I think this will be a big help to Lexus. We're expecting a lot of cars both days.

Damn right they have. With some influence from yours truly.

Agreed.

I wish I could make it up there this weekend Tom. I was contemplating it but too many things going on for me right now. Next time for sure!

this event wouldn't have been possible without the extensive efforts put in by the exotic community in that region

Much respect to all those involved to make this happen. I hear the NW car community is a sea of some big fish. I know teamspeed, l4play and 6speedonline will have a keen eye on this car as a good number of NW members are on those sites. I hope the turnout is a great event for Lexus and the brand. Maybe they can find a few converts along the way. My advice, if it even matters: don't bring a wrapped or a matte version of #032. The car has to be FLAWLESS and impressionable.

The wrap is already gone.

I live in the Tacoma area- Seattle is about an hour's drive. Hopefully I'll be able to spot it, not sure if the G/F will oblige though!

Had this been done 12 mths ago, we wouldn't have argued so much here.

Bring her to the Ste. Michelle event on Sunday at noon. That will be a very cool event. We've spent a lot of time planning that over the past year.

Tommy;

Is there a post of your impressions of the LFA to date? If not, I'm hoping you will post a review once you see and hear (hopefully) the car in person as I'm curious to what your thoughts will be without the marketing campaign clouding the issue.

Would be interesting to hear your overall thoughts.
