If the LFA at $350,000 is a bargain then what's the F458 at $250,000? A steal? When did we start calling any Ferrari a "steal"?
Check out all my posts on LFA prior of the premier and you probably find out that I was one of the biggest supporters here on CL. However, based on the specs and rumored price this has turned into quite a disappointment at least to me.

I think this thing is amazing, interior is amazing I wonder if I will ever get to see one in person
as far as the specs to me its not really a big deal if it tops out a 202 210 220 or whatever. In America your not hitting that top speed anyway. And why are people putting down the 202mph top speed? Since when do people look the other way at that kinda of speed. O it tops out at 202 its not worth it give me a break
I also find it funny people are saying i could buy three of these(fill in whatever u like) for the price of that who cares! Someone who is going to buy a LF-A isnt going to care how much it costs or what other car they could buy, if they want it and they can afford it they want to buy it fine. Im going to take a different look at why buy a veyron when you could have 3 LF-A's

Guys, lets remember theres only going to be 500 of these cars built and sold. Toyota needs to recoup at least a part of their investment to develop this machine.
Clearly Toyota isn't targeting this to people who might cross shop it with Ferrari'r or whatnot. This is simply for those wealthy customers who want one, and price isn't an issue. Its simply moot to discuss the price tag of this car. If it was more or less a mass produced super car, then it would be a whole different story.

Okay so I have heard mention of Ferrari in this thread... So comparisons are bound to happen... I must ask a serious question...
Will you be disappointed or shocked even after real-world test results drop and it is on par or dare I say slower than the GT-R?
It's just a question.
