I'd take the OTHER (light) blue with dark finish wheels and maybe silver brake calipers.

Word is going around that 1 out of the 10 Canadian LFAs will be a 'Ring edition model. Can anyone confirm this?

Ironically, I was just going to post this. It's coming to Calgary, but won't be out for quite a while. Apparently, according to the dealership staff member, that I spoke to, all of the "standard" ones are being looked after first with the Nurburgring ones to follow.

That Pearl Red looks fantastic in the natural light

Choosing between Pearl Red and Pearl Blue would be a difficult decision that I'm currently NOT tasked with although it seems like it would be a win/win position to be in

Very nice! Any idea when that clip was shot Ryan?

Why is it that when most drivers are driving the LFA at parking speeds (such as when reversing at the end of the clip) they drive it extremely slowly? Is it difficult to drive when you have to drive it slowly?

That looks amazing. The light wheels and metallic shades on that red in natural light make it look so fabulous.

No I don't. I'm gonna guess not too long ago.

As for reversing the LFA slowly...its because the gas pedal is quite touchy...so trying to feather it becomes somewhat of a challenge. Even pulling forward, you have to be very careful because the gas pedal is very sensitive. When you drive it in full auto mode, the car drives extremely harsh because there is a harsh lag between shifts. It actually drives smoother in any of the manual modes and full throttle of course.

Default #034 Lexus LFA being delivered at Erin Park, Ottawa Canada

Although, the video as uploaded today, most likely this #034 was delivered to its owner last year? (correct me, if I am wrong).
