Yep, that was me asking for late delivery. So the plan now is on for Nov 2012 build. Then transportation time and winter storage would push my delivery into spring of 2013.

Just get another one. While at it, why not get the first and last one in the production

I was thinking one for a DD and the other as a weekend car
There's no way I can wait a whole year.........I'd be shaking like a insert poison addict going through withdrawal

Make zero sense to me ... I'd be pissed if I want the Nurgurgring Edition but don't like any of the colors THEY DECIDE I should have ...... and the Hyundai Equus is criticized for having only 4 color choices LOL ......

That's the thing , being bespoke is supposed to be a big deal for the LFA given the price, yet they chose to TAKE AWAY the vast majority of the paint choices for their most expensive and special model Make zero sense to me ...

Actually, I've been thinking about getting my IS F redone in one of the LFA colors.
And comparing to mass market cars won't bear much relevant discussion. Even the mass production IS F is only offered in limited colors, but I don't think complaint there is really warranted - and pointedly, not in the same way as if the IS250 or 350 were only available in 6 colors or something.

Let's not speculate on what is or isn't possible based only on personal interpretations of a press release. As I have mentioned previously on this board, Lexus' PS indicated to me that Lexus would work with customers who wanted to specify exterior colors outside of the standard/special offerings in the brochure.

it is VERY relevent to compare with mass market cars in this case because most have more choices than 4, and no, they should offer the IS-F in any color available for the regular IS ...

What's the point of Lexus mentioning 30 colors for the base LFA in a press release when they can do anything? Or Ferrari, around the same for the 458, when they can do anything? Or Porsche, maybe a dozen per model, when they can do anything? None of that is the point, which is that you can't just look at a press release in a vacuum and assume that limitations exist when that's just your own inference.

Yeah I like the fact the Nur Ed. LFA gets 4 specific colors but I wish the 4 colors were outside the 30 already available.
