Why even bother with those 'wet laps'?
They are no real representation of the cars' ability.

dillsrotary 01-07-2010 07:34 AM

^agreed.

I watched it last night and loved the whole episode, plus the tach on the lfa is great.

moonkid 01-07-2010 08:00 AM

lfa is awesome and the tach is so sexy to bad is so expensive

mscamp02 01-07-2010 08:08 AM

def not worth the cost of the car but I still like it none the less

j_tso 01-07-2010 10:39 PM

The camera work and effects in that review were awesome.

Yep, the LF-A is too expensive, and it's too ugly.

rodjonathan 01-07-2010 11:13 PM

i love the car but it costs too much :) top gear is the best though

Why watch it on YooTooB? Download the hi-def torrent.

ArXate 01-08-2010 06:12 AM

All of the LFA's numbers are below its competition except price.

rodjonathan 01-08-2010 10:18 AM

^ lol true that

JantzenRX-8 01-08-2010 10:40 AM

It has one of the best sounding engines ever, and the coolest gauge cluster known to man but i think they should have put it in some sort of package that competes with the GTR instead of this thing that no one is going to buy.

$350k or whatever it is is a lot of money for something that is basically a Lexus SC350 gone beserk.

yes

dillsrotary 01-08-2010 11:42 AM

How many are they making, 300? They'll sell all 300.

gh8st 01-08-2010 11:43 AM

i think it's 500.. yeah they will sell out as soon as they're placed on the market

sephyobsessed 01-08-2010 11:45 AM

It's basically $545,000 U.S. dollars, def a nice car, that's for sure

It's unique, that's what makes it special and appealing to some people. True, it is way overpriced and not up to par with it's competition with numbers, but it's still something I wouldn't mind driving.

Absolutely true IMO. Commercials and recordings don't do it justice.

nate340 01-08-2010 12:40 PM

big fan of the review love the car. it sounds so wonderful thank Yamaha.

thanks for the link..

I think it is a good looking car, but I don't think the performance is good enough for the price, but I bet it'll have the nicest interior of the supercars. Saw it rotating on the stand at the LA Auto Show.

TALAN7 01-08-2010 03:08 PM

I think it will last twice as long as the average supercar.

elysium19 01-08-2010 03:26 PM

I love top Gear but that review did not do the LFA justice, but I guess that's to be expected from a 4-minute cinematic review. From everything ELSE I've seen, the LFA appears to be one of the most exquisite, overengineered, and refined road cars ever created. The technical details are pretty much staggering, especially regarding engine layout, advances in carbon fiber construction, and engine weight/precision. The thing revs in neutral from 0 to 9,000 RPM in 0.6 seconds!

People are (wrongly) viewing it at a one-up GTR. What they really should be comparing it to is a more refined (though not nearly as pretty) Ferrari Enzo or Carerra GT. The people buying this thing are the people who realize what a pearl it is, and would pay twice the asking price for sure. Those 500 will be gone in a half second....

SiLVeRE8 01-08-2010 08:45 PM

I saw it in person and honestly I love the car but not worth it at all...

I dont think it's a one-up GTR i think Lexus should have built a one-up GTR.

I think it's too frilly and too much like a tuner/VIP styled car.

ArXate 01-08-2010 11:59 PM

I agree with j_tso. The styling is not supercar styling. Its styling is like transformers or something gaudy that a tuner in high school might come up with. The price is ridiculous, yet performance can't match its competition.

Let's put it another way. Whatever supercar styling is, the LFA doesn't have it.
