You guys have to see the LFA in person to appreciate its look, feel, and peformance. In my opinion, it's really worth $300K. It's priced on performance, look, reliability, and the most is rarity. The Toyota Rep. that I spoke to at Sema Show said there'll be less than 150 will be imported in the US. When a person can buy a car that's a few hundred grands, he just doesn't look at the name only, he wants something rare. There're a lot of exotic cars that are not very popular to the public, but there's still a niche for the kind of people that'll buy it. You can check this out to see its beauty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JpmZoZEIiI.
Anyway, LFA is Lexus For Asian..JK.

With the LF-A's looks and styling ques, It almost seems like the 1st gen Lexus SC and the MkIV Supra got together, had a baby and out popped the LF-A. So if people see Lexus/Toyota's past history in terms of styling ques in it's cars, I can definitely see Jerry's point in people looking at the SC out of pure interest to see where the LF-A's genetic roots originated from.

The numbers after the two letters indicate the liters of the engine. If you say there should be a twin turbo 3.5V6, then they would make the SC350, not 400. 4.6 V8 would make an SC460, not SC550.
Not trying to pick a fight, just saying that's the way they've always done it.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

The LFA is an awesome Super Car! I can certainly see why it is priced where it is. Very rare, each one built almost custom, and definitely to order. I believe Toyota/Lexus is hand selecting the prospective owners for maximum visibility. One thing the LFA seems to have definitely accomplished is Super Car performance, but with Lexus refinement and luxury. There is probably no other Sports car built that has accomplished this marriage between luxury and performance as well as Toyota has with the LFA. Kudos to Toyota/Lexus!![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

When I first saw its pics, I definitely drooled....I love the look,,,,inside and out.
Regarding your quastion on its impacting the SC, I do not think it will. The SC has made its own mark on its own. It is a hell of a marriage between luxury and sport, just not supercar status.
I did find it most interesting that the LFA has a hood venting set up and style that is nearly identical to the custom one I have built for my SC project. Like minds think alike....
BYW, I did not copy the LFA....I did mine on my own....Well before the pics of the new LFA came out.
