the orange reminds me of my miata interior (dash - the seats were more saddle tan).

of course my miata cost about $360,000 less.

if i had the money i'd get this car though! i believe it will be the best deal anyone can get on an LFA.

 

GTspirit is reporting that it is sold, but feels like bad infos to me, same set of pics and video, looks like they took the car out to a meet to try to give it some publicity to make a sale, if it is sold, the window sticker won't be still on the dash.

Actually the Miata color combos work well. Don't you and jruhi4 have the same color car?

 

I don't think that makes much sense.

They would take out a brand new car and drove it off the lot to a car meet to get some "publicity" and in the process make a brand new car a "used car" and took the financial hit just to gain some publicity for a sale??? That makes no sense. They could have trucked it there, which would make more sense then.

They were trying to sell it as a brand new showroom car so if it showed up on the meet, Herb either decided to buy the LFA or they actually sold it to an owner like the article says or maybe the car was taken there on a truck, if it is not sold.

I must admit, the brown color looks stunning in those pictures under sunlight.

 

look at the link i posted again, they trucked the car to the meet location.

and exotic dealerships often take brand new exotics to meets and such to show to exotic owners and attract potential buyers. it's being done all the time. i think that's very effective way to promote and advertise

 

^^ Agreed...

Too many people standing around & rubbing against this "UN-SOLD" LFA...

Even if the car was driven there, having a few miles on the odo doesn't classified a brand new car as "used". With your logic, every LFA that passed inspection is consider as a used car, because part of the inspection is to let test driver Nobuaki Amano drive the car on a track at speed up to 125 mph to make sure every function is perfect. I am sure you know they do that.

The car does look a lot better in day lights.

 

I agreed it is a great way to promote, nothing better then seeing the real thing.

I know Symbolic Motors in La Jolla always drive brand new inventories to known client's house to show it to them. I guess ballers don't even bother to go down to the dealer to go look at the new toys A lot of their new inventories got a little more then delivery miles.

As much as I make fun of all the negatives of the LFA, the LFA must be the highest quality made automobile ever in the history of car making from all human. Knowing how much Lexus care about quality when they do care

Just look at those panel's gap, or the lack of it

 

yes, i have to agree. the exterior brown color actually isn't that bad. not my choice, but it doesn't look bad either. but i think the interior is what killed it in my eyes

yup, symbolic is so iconic in socal i guess, and yes, they drive cars around to show potential clients.

yes, i think you are right. the interior details and finish on the lfa is really quite ridiculous

yeah, i know, a bit painful to see, but nothing a detail job can't take care of. if this is what it takes to promote and sell the car, i am all for it. at least it lets a lot of people see the car, i think lexus likes to see that

 

That thing is sexy. Now what did I do with my lottery money, lol!

 

Damn! That is sad to see LFAs sitting on the lot and no one has jumped at the opportunity to buy these cars. Something I did not want to see happen.

 

haha.... thats ok...give us more time to save up for one....LOL

 

I suppose exterior is close to the "turd" brown PB edition of the SC430(remember Liz's pics ?). I actually have a couple of them in my neighborhood, and yes, in person, it's a nice color, but not my choice even for the SC.
I think this Pearl Brown of the LFA with saddle interior will look much better, more classy.
