you would have to be a douche to get a car in that matt unfinished black color. Straight up ugly as hell.

great pics...i agree with some people matt black isnt the right color for LFA but it just my opinion...went LA last week and saw mad matt black finished cars(one matt black rolls-royce drophead included) guess its new thing now...i think matt black only look good on old school cars in my opinion..

matte black is nothing new anymore, there are a lot of cars around in that finish, for a few years already. i think it's a bit played out, not my style and i don't think i will get a car in that finish neither

Did you give them a hard about the LFA and not LF-A?

Ask and thou shall receive. Motortrend followed the LF-A to the meet.

Sounds amazing but at 0:40s...it'll make you cringe with regards to the driver.

They wouldn't let me close to the car (LFA) because I might drool.

I really wish they had kept the front end of the concept cars but that LFA is still an exciting car.
