Not too long ago, I spent some energy lamenting my feelings toward matte black as a color. So really, what business do I have here with this LFA in silver matte paint?

Lexus corporate are making some pretty big changes to the car buying process by upgrading their dealerships. The idea is to take them off Grammy and Pappy’s dusty idea of luxury and move it into a new age of “progressive luxury”.

To be perfectly honest, the color is still growing on me. When Lexus introduced the RC’s “exclusive orange” I had to consider just how I felt about it. maybe, it’s because the RC F’s signature blue is just so amazing, it won’t allow me to accept the RC F any other way.

We spent some time a little while back paying homage to the Lexus LFA Code X Racecar. Naturally though. It’s a pee in your pants exciting vehicle, the kind of tweaked out Frankenstein mutant vehicle that you only see once in awhile

“That’s why I am here today with Haruhiko-san and Yaguchi-san because we want to hear from you about the future, and no question is off limit. So let’s talk freely.”
Alright, here we go

It goes without saying the the LFA has one of the best exhaust notes of all time. What the noise of the Aventador lacks in similarity to a race car, it makes up for in similarity to a jet engine.

When I see projects like these – Tuan and Jimmy’s insanely clean LS460’s, I smile. It’s a half grimace, half smile as I think of all the sweat, labor, (loving) hours that went into these LS460’s.
