It seems to me that some people here talk about rich people and how rich people spend their money like they're actually rich people. If you were sooo rich, this forum shouldn't be where you hang out.
Until I actually see or read about rich people falling head over heels over these LF-A's and until I see all these LF-A's sold out, I ain't believe it.
Remember, image is everything. And that goes for both the rich and poor, although the poor have more important things to worry about than image.
Lexus = luxury appliance
But time will tell whether people will change their perceptions of Lexus. It's too early to say if the LF-A is a hit or a miss. I am suspecting it's the latter, though.

Car is getting awesome reviews in japanese media, lots of japanese drivers already stated that the GTR cant even touch this car. and since these drivers are well known in japan, i take their world for it.

Im gonna have to agree with alfy. Not to mention Toyota/Lexus/Scion enthusiasts are very loyal to the brand. And the money has little to do with it. My fathers clientele have tons of money but drive may drive a camry/corolla. There isnt a direct ratio of income to value of daily driver.

yah going to have to scratch my head on this comment. doesnt make any sense at all. For starters, no one said they are rich, 2nd it doesnt take rocket science to figure out, that a rich car enthusiast will buy this car up. Regardless what badge is sporting on this car.

I think the LF-A fanboys are a little too optimistic and confident that the LF-A will do fine. I'm not sure if Toyota/Lexus is as confident as you guys.
If I had the ability to predict the future with 100% accuracy and certainty, I'd be mega rich king living in my own country.
Only time will time whether the LF-A is a hit--or a miss.

those are nice but if your saying the 200+ people will want the lfa your wrong i say this because i spent my entire life between uae and saudi arabia and those people have money like no other BUT as fas as cars are concerned trust me they are the kind of people who will pay a tuner company all the money it wants to build a super fast car or customize it never work on it themselves etc ... they would probably not know what a rotary is point being they would but a lambo over the lfa coz they dont care about specs they care about name .... thats probably where i get it from too 
but yea there will be a few princes and stuff who will but and want the lfa but not the general rich people coz theyll buy a bentley and chrome it out before they fork out 375k for a lexus
