On my way to work yesterday I pass a Lexus dealer(Lexus of Brookfield) just down the street from my office. I had seen a large semi trailer parked out front prepping to unload. My initial thoughts were maybe an LFA was hidden inside My suspicions were right! Today on my way past, I see a nice red LFA sitting out front. On my way home today, I stopped, snagged a few camera pics, and spoke to a gentlemen who worked there. Supposedly the car belongs to the owner Mrs. Safro (Jack, her late husband owns the dealership). She plans to hang onto it and not sell it. It has about 30 miles on it from a short trip to an event she took it to.


Long story short, I felt a little depressed pulling away in my IS350, only wishing I could afford the LFA

Enjoy the pics.....

Thanks for the report and pictures. Cool that it's a female owner. You didn't happen to get the badge number, did you? (Kinda hard to see it from outside the car - it's between the seats on the rear partition.)

There was a vid of this car posted on youtube a few days ago:

Nice find! Red on white with polished wheels, nice!

Cool video, I could have shot that the day I seen the trailer unloading it, bummer. I work literally down the street.
No problem Gengar. Probably one of very very few female owned LFA's, maybe she's single (cougar)?

Sorry, no badge number. I didn't peer inside too much, more focused on the outside. Nice car though, very similar red to my wifes previous Matador Red Mica IS250....the dealer said it has a different color code though.

Ya, it's similar but called "Pearl Red" and as you said it has a different color code (3S4). I love the color.

I asked some Lexus people if they could custom factory color an IS F in Pearl Red, telling them I'd buy an '11 if they did (I was only half-joking). Of course, I wound up getting an '11 in the meantime anyway. They said it would probably be cheaper/easier/faster to just do it aftermarket, so I guess that option is still open for me.

Can you be more specific about where you saw this?

McGrath has one that is the same color but with a different interior.

This car should be seen all over the Milwaukee area. The owner is the owner of the Lexus dealership I work at as well as the Brookfield dealership it was delivered at.

Thanks for the update

I believe that is Mr. McGrath's car.

It seems like multiple dealers went with red and a few did the polished wheels.

Red is a very common color for this car it seems. I wonder if anyone got a lime green one?

gengar

Lime Green is one of the special colors, so according to the initial production schedule we won't see it until 2012.
