I don't think it's necessarily true about Calgary, from other Canadian media reports, they aren't even taking official orders yet, until June next year ...

Yes, they are officially not taking orders yet, but the allocation of LFAs to specific countries and specific cities may have already been finalized. How else to explain the unofficial allocation of 10 LFAs for Canada?

I think even allocations to different countries/cities are mostly preliminary and still quite flexible & maybe subject to some changes, they will probably adjust them depending on the demand for the car in different countries ...

Probably right, although demand should surely exceed supply so there will only be so much adjusting that they can do .

Here is another video of the black LFA revving at SEMA, better sound quality this time:

You can clearly hear the race-car-like idle.

New LFA SEMA video - interior features
Here is a pretty thorough video of the black LFA at SEMA, some of the interior features including the gauge cluster are shown, and a quick explanation and walk-around of the exterior. Also, we of course hear the car revving too .

LF-A thoughts
I just got my magazines in the mail today discussing this car. I love it but one thing that kills it, the price. Who here honestly thought it was going to cost this much? I read that it will cost $375,000 to purchase this car. Man, it is a sick car but that is a realm that Lexus just isn't accustomed to going after. I wonder how sales will be after the first two years. I think it will succeed in year 1 since it is new and they may not release that many cars for the first year. To me I think it would cost close to Porsche 911 turbo numbers, maybe even GT2 or GT3.

Toyota/Lexus really went extreme with this car, they could have added real sports packages to all the sedans, and dropped a supra back into the mix.

According to Dave600hL, even in Japan, they have about one per dealer only.
If Canada really gets allocated only 10 LFA's, what's the chance of Calgary getting 3 ?
I suppose maybe three in Calgary put down their names(or even a deposit ?) showing interest, but that does not guarantee that all of them will get one ...

Ideally, it's a car that should be transported to a track and driven there ONLY, unless it's all open road from the owner's home to the track
