Thread: Is the Lexus LFA ready for the supercar world?

Bottom line: for $375,000, it's ridiculous. Seriously though, you can start from whether Lexus' badge value is enough to justify them building a limited-production model for a price which is higher than that of a Lamborghini Murciélago.

Quote: Yes, in knowing what it takes to acquire one. But for the remaining 99.9% of the time, will be too busy with either driving it, or dreaming of driving it (When I am unable to), and appreciating what the car is.
