Lexus Lfa In Top Gear

[Bartek]

Hello,

Has anyone seen the last week's episode of Top Gear? I'm referring to the proper 2009/2010 Top Gear episodes aired in UK on BBC/BBC HD, not the old school stuff from Australia. Hammond was testing the LFA. Anyone to take on his thoughts and review?

I strongly believe he is correct - it is fast, it is a great piece of engineering with all the little and big things making it something really special but at the end of the day - it is a Lexus unfortunately and if I had to spend ~$750 k AUD on a car, it would be a Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni Edition or a "normal" one (then, if I couldn't get one... would be a Ferrari 599 or 458). I like the LFA. Personally I think it is a massive technology achievement but I simply cannot justify its' price. Fair enough - Lexus is making it limited with the quantity of them built and the price but still... I am not convinced with that price tag.

Anyone to put their thoughts on the subject?

I saw it. I reckon it's going to be a very special car and they'll all get sold. Price will be no issue.

There are only 5 LF-A's coming to Australia. One for Lexus Australia to use and 4 for sale.

So fast that they are gone before they got here.
