The same could be said about a lot of cars it. Its really a matter of opinion. I own a lexus myself, but I am not bias when it comes to cars due to what I own or what brand. I can however tell you that owning a lexus has swayed me more towards loving this car just because I followed what went into it. Sure, as far as performance in a straight line goes, it is NOT that impressive only beating the GTR by minimal feet in the 1/4. But, it seems this car will decimate on the track with what has been speculated (not confirmed) 7:24 on the nurburgring. Anyways all 500 have already sold so it would appear that the 10 years lexus put into this car paid off.

maybe owning a 400k lexus is ridiculously stupid given the fact that you can get more for less. But at the end of the day, its still a remarkable piece of engineering.

We can buy 4 GTRs with what one LFA cost, Red, White, Silver & Black and still have money left over. The sad thing is that the GTR with a few upgrades will have the LFA for lunch.

And a Lexus LFA with a few upgrades wouldn't? Have you ever read in detail the engineering, technology, materials, etc that goes into making the Lexus LFA?

It's not just about "my car gets from point A to B be quicker so I win" in terms of what renders a particular automobile exciting, admirable, etc.

People make old POS Civic hatches ran quicker than 100K+ cars all day long. Still I’m sure the 100K cars (beaten by the Civic hatch) have many other attributes which make them far more desirable own, drive, etc.

really gets down to what a person wants versus function versus cost. I'm more a function versus price point person so I'd most likely not buy a Loyota. Nice commercial though, thanks for posting.

The car already cost $400K+, How many more upgrades it would need?...

Pish posh, Negative Nancy. Bugatti loses money on each Veyron if I remember right, and they only reason they made that was to see if they could (even if I think their quad-turbo W16 was ridiculously impractical...). Doesnt stop me from thinking its a sexy car, though.

Same goes for the LFA.

If I had millions of dollars to blow and I wanted an exclusive car that has a badass interior any gadget freak would blow a nut over...I'd definitely get it lol.

There's so much more to automobiles than just test track numbers.
