Top Gear: "It might just be the greatest Japanese car ever"
I don't see anything on the site yet but they review the LFA (all 3 were there) and think its incredible (Dec 09 issue). Some other quotes
"The LFA feels like a car developed by hardnosed hardcore racers with a well developed sense of automotive hedonism. It's right up there with a Ferrari F430 Scuderia for raw sensory overload"
"What I do know is that this is a Lexus road car that sounds better than any Ferrari"
"Its not pretty but it has presence".
"The sound system is mind blowing, and the newly designed amp is;
-37% lighter
-35% smaller
-uses 90% less power
-is 317% more powerful
"with the traction control off the LFA is an absolute hooligan"
"Lexus engineers have struggled free from their straightjackets and delivered us the LFA....the missing link between genius and madness"
Haruhiko Tanahashi- (Chief engineer)-"when I was thinking of the LFA's character I was thinking of the whole women. A woman can be passionate and elegant, but she is also capable of being quite exciting and has a need to be dominated"
"I describe it (sound) like the "roar of an Angel"
"I wanted the LFA to deliver a euphoric experience. The driver would go to heaven in this car"!

Sounds like a good review....hopefully that translates on-screen to the show.
This one quote may have some translation issues...'need to be dominated' can be interpreted in certain ways...I'll stick to the car similes.

Not surprised about the praises.
This must be the first review of the LFA's sound system and it sounds like ML does not disappoint. But how can an amp use 90% less power and still be 317% more powerful at the same time?Yes he/it did.
No it was not dry.
