That was the same kit I worked with to finalize the details of my car. They told us one buyer was sort of color blind, so his wife was there to help and she took forever to decide.

Lexus LFA proves an easy sell, in the land of Porsche and Ferrari
Lexus LFAAs we may know already, Lexus has a tough job selling its cars in the backyard of BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. As it wasn’t hard enough, selling the Lexus LFA sports car appears to be an impossible mission to an elite European clique accustomed to Porsche and Ferrari.
Actually, it is not hard at all, as the Japanese manufacturer announced that a third of the orders from Europe were placed in Germany, the home of Porsche. Lexus already brought these customers to this year’s Nurburgring 24-hour endurance race in Germany to wine and dine them as two LFAs competed in the race. According to Lexus, the buyers had plunked down 100,000 euros ($125,715). Apparently, the future LFA owners said that they were looking for a different sports car without being flashy or overwrought. Also, the customer service offered by Lexus is a refreshing contrast to the haughty elitism of rival brands

Kidding aside, article confused me a little, Lexus brought German LFA buyers to 24 Nurburgring and then the buyers themselves spent 100k Euros on what? Or did they bring some more special clients to show them the LFA and then they put down 100k Euros deposit?

I don't think the LFA could conceivably be viewed as not being "flashy or overwrought", but I will agree that Lexus' stated customer service plans, especially as regards dealership support, far exceeds anything that was ever demonstrated or offered to me when I previously shopped exotics.

Lexus LFA proves an easy sell, in the land of Porsche and Ferrari
FINAL ASSEMBLY
In the land of Porsche and Ferrari, Lexus sports car proves an easy sell
Automotive News -- May 31, 2010 - 12:01 am ET
Lexus says it has orders and down payments for all 500 of the $375,000 LFA sports cars it plans to build.
Selling the Lexus brand in the backyard of BMW, Audi and Mercedes is tough enough. But promoting the Japanese brand's LFA sports car to an elite European clique accustomed to Porsche and Ferrari must be a hopeless cause, right?
Actually, the pitch has been easier than expected.
Parent Toyota already has booked orders and taken down payments for all 500 of the $375,000 sports cars it plans to build over the model's life.
Lexus isn't giving details of orders by region. But it says that a third of the orders from Europe were placed in Germany. Lexus brought eight of those buyers to this year's Nurburgring 24-hour endurance race in Germany to wine and dine them as two LFAs competed at the legendary circuit. Each buyer already had plunked down 100,000 euros ($125,715).
The future LFA owners said they were looking for a different car that exudes performance and prestige without being flashy or overwrought. Europeans also appreciate the doting customer service offered by Lexus, a refreshing contrast to the haughty elitism of rival brands.
One buyer, a manufacturing engineer who declined to be identified, compared the LFA to owning a rare, ultraexpensive mechanical wristwatch. "To most people, it's an unknown quantity," he said. "But true aficionados know its value."
Manfred Sattler, the owner of a software company and an auto racing team, picked the LFA primarily because it is different. As a German with a 500-hp Hummer H2 and two Dodge Vipers in his garage, he has an eye for the unorthodox.
Said Sattler: "About 20 years ago, I said I'd never drive a German."
