New Lexus commercial

[Iain]

LF-A is meh.

It's another try-hard model from Lexus, using statistics to get the numbers nerds wet while people with half a clue are tugging themselves over the (cheaper) Zonda F or Murcielago.

Its about $250,000 over priced... but other than that I like it.

[Be30mer]

I dont think the zonda is cheaper.

When you though the new "skyline" was bad, comes this...

I would take a 911gt3rs, R8, f430, lambo, db9/dbs, m3 over it everday and twice on sunday.

Is it true that they lose money on each one they sell?

that piece of engineering marvel lost to the BMW m3 on the 24 hours on nurburgring. some marvel.

you're going to compare a street car to its race version?

yeah ok.

then apparently my rx8 takes down ferraris and porsches every day.

I love this LF-A a lot, I absolutely adore it. Toyota really needs to take their head out of their asses about the whole thing though. The price is upsetting, but further more their idea of this lease plan and such is fucking outrageous. The car worth the price? no. Is it worth more than unicorn shit? no. This makes me hate Toyota even more. I agree with Farbin on this although it isn't the cars fault, it's the parent companies fault.

^ Thanks. I'm glad I'm not alone in this thread, I figured I'd have thrown myself to the wolves with my post.

Seriously, what kind of dickbags run Toyota? Leasing is for hippies on welfare that can't afford a Prius, not a fucking supercar. "Oh hey guyz, We have this madtyte super car but you can't buy it, not even Bill fucking Gates can buy it. You have to go on our lease plan yo, like with interest and shit. We are like the best ever, don't you agree?"

You guys should see how the Club Lexus fanboys hang off the LFA's nuts...

None of them will ever own one, yet they delete posts/lock threads when people post in opposition of the thing.

edit: The LFA is simply a marketing research tool for Toyota. In the future the car will be re-released with any and all bugs erased, and marketed as the perfect sports car, over a decade in the making.

They are just butthurt that their tailpipes are fake and their 8 speed, super drifto, 50 computer IS-F's still can't beat the M3.

it's no E30 :down:
but pretty cool commercial, needs a sexy chick in it though

I see the LFA to Lexus as the Veyron is to Bugatti. The whole point of this car is a technical exercise.....to experiment with, and apply new technologies to a road car application. Bugatti takes a loss on every single Veyron they make....ditto for Lexus with the new LFA. Bugatti's parent company is VW and you've had a couple hundred folks plunk down 1.5M for this Volkswagen - the same thing is happening with people paying $300K+ for a Toyota. Big deal.....none of us on this board will ever own one (unless you hit the lottery I suppose), so I can't understand why all the hate in here to begin with. I think both cars are awesome because they have taken the development benchmark of what is possible with a road car and bumped it up several notches.
