#52 of 57 bored or uninformed? by kansashick May 21, 2008 (1:38 pm)
Let's see. The LFA has a top speed in excess of 200 mph and holds the record lap time at Nurbring. The 0 - 60 is to be below 3.5. So, top speed is higher than the GTR, 0 - 60 about the same. As to curb appeal, have you seen this car? It is flat out beautiful! Beyond that, the car is focused at an entirely different market segment than the GTR -- people who want cars that are fast, beautiful and exclusive not fast, ugly and in the price range of 25% the population. I am on the top of the list for the LFA here in cowtown and I will be trading in my Aston Martin, not a Supra. As to buying a Ferrari, they are a maintenance nightmare and the dealer markups over list are astronomical. The LFA looks to be a supercar without these problems .

Replying to: kansashick (May 21, 2008 1:38 pm) I guess you could be the first 1s to get the LF A. Lexus makes great cars. Reliable, durable, great built quality, electronics, The only thing it doesn't make good is SUVs to compete with the likes of x5 x6 cayenne.

Replying to: kansashick (Sep 15, 2008 6:46 am) The launch is on an indefinite hold as the car failed to meet performance requirements. See: http://www.themotorreport.com.au/6622/lexus-lf-a-and-gs-f-amongst-lexus-models-t- o-be-delayed/ Replies to this message: bmlexus (Nov 22, 2008 3:37 am)
