never saw this episode.. but i sure love the LFA. however, I hate the new season of top gear.....it's just not the same anymore. They admitted it themselves too, that they don't have that spark that they used to have. But yeah, at that price I would not buy the LFA even if I had the money to sport one. I would probably get a godzilla spec v or something along those lines. It sure sounds sick though and I love the engineering that went into every panel of the car.

They want far too much money.
It reminds me of the MK4 Supra, but WAY too out of hand.

All their R&D on that vehicle isn't even carrying over to production vehicles.
Not the engine, the tranny, the chassis, the frame, NOTHING.
I'm not sure what they were thinking. I hope for their sake that it is atleast quick.

^^ actually for the most part of the spy shots that they've been taking of that car, before it was unveiled, people thought it was the new model Supra.

From: HOU - yeah, you know the rest.

I have to say it seems like a pretty amazing vehicle, but I feel it should be priced closer to $150K.

I retract my post, according to Lexus' LFA website, October of 09' they had it unofficially priced at $350,000 USD. Sounded like they were basing it off Japanese Yen as a fixed price then whatever the exchange rate is. Surely they have the official U.S. price as they are taking orders, just nothing published yet.
