Excellent point and I'd probably agree with you. Problem is, the LF-A is a sexy monster with Lexus track record of reliability. I am one of those who thought it would weigh in under $100K. But yeah the R8 is to be respected at any price. Give me both and a case of Twizzlers and I'm a happy man!!

True, Audi's track history is legendary, hence the R8. I look forward to mag covers with these mouth watering comparisons. Though I get the feeling they will still be comparing it to the BMW's 3 series as that's always the benchmark. Somehow the writers find a way to invoke BMW's famed money makers intoo every article....And If anyone is wondering, no I'm not a BMW hater. In fact it's just the opposite. I'm just speaking the truth.

I would. I'm one of those Lexus owners that don't really like the trend of Lexus cars getting more and more expensive. I do realize the LF-A is in a different market segment, but at $120K there are a lot of other exotic cars that I be looking at as well.
