In any case, you can't use prices of cars in China/Asia/Australia etc. as an indication of what the price will be in the U.S.A. They charge horrendous taxes for cars there that's added to the prices they list there.

I was just going to post the above thread...that price is crazy! I have a deposit on the LF-A, but I was really thinking about $120,000...does anyone know the price difference of some other current models which are being sold in the US versus Asia for comparison?

Sounds about right. The Gallardo sells in China for RMB$2,980,000 = US$395,068. Knowing that the Gallardo lists for US$178,550 here, the LF-A's MSRP in the US can therefore be linearly interpolated to around $178,550 x $264,700 / $395,068 = US$119,630.
Math helps, guys.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

That's an amazing price for a supercar *drools* It will cost less then a Lamborghini Gallardo and probably be a better build.

My dealer has stated that Lexus told him the LF-A will go into production Jan 08 for the US and deliveries will start in April. No info regarding price.

wow april deliveries of the LF-A?. thats surprising.. I dont mean in the sense that its surprising the car goes in production in jan and then being delivered april (being that quick)... but i mean i didnt know it was launching as an 09 model. They wont make more than 500 of these first year anyway, like the R8. Totally exclusive.
I could have sworn it was said this car was coming out early 2009 as a 2010 model. I could be wrong though.

The dealer stated that the LF-A will be entering production about the same time as the IS-F arrives in show rooms. Several industry publications have also reported that the LF-A will arrive spring 08.

The LF-A, which is not even the real name of the car (I hypothesize it will be the SC-F), has not even debuted as an actual production car.
I doubt that Lexus will "silently" debut the LF-A/SC-F sometime in the next few months. The debut of the LF-A will be heralded as a halo car for Lexus, and thus all marketing razzle-dazzle will be used to debut it for at least a year prior to release and sale.
