It's an advertizing tool. Sell 500 LF-A's over 5 years = 5 million other Lexus vehicles/year. I think there are only 125 comming to the US anyway. You'll have more luck hitting the Lottery then you will ever seeing one on the road. In the end it doesn't matter if you'd spend $325K, somebody already has.

i think he was justifying the price by making the corvette statement...but the zr1 is still a corvette, it uses all the same parts, just has more power...corvette's have been around for YEARS and they have all the research and development they need to make them affordable...the LFA is a brand new car that uses all original parts, therefore the price is higher

I can smell the estrogen coming form this thread all the way from google.

The zr1's use special parts not put on regular corvettes, I believe the z06's use similar parts.

Im still lost at where this thread has gone.

this. the ZR1 is not just another vette. but medicmatt does bring up a good point. all i was saying is that 300K might be a little steep for the amount of car youd be getting.

TBH, i don't think its too much to ask for a supercar that only 125 in the US can have...plus it just looks dead sexy

they do, the z06 is a serious car too, but NOTHING anywhere near a monster the ZR1 is.


the lfa does look sexy as fuck though.

now if i said i could build a faster honda, than your statement wouldnt be so ignorant, but did i? no i said i would rather buy another unmodified and just as sweet factory car.
at the end of the day it dont matter if you had millions did toyota choose you to buy there car ... ???? you nor i could have one IF we wanted one
