Geez! It is actually an American allocation. This #112 LFA has been tossed around all over the USA first and now it was been bought by a Canadian dealership. It was last seen in Plano, Texas.

The silver lining is that Canada will now be having 11 LFAs and not 10. Hopefully, more LFAs will be brought over from US to Canada.

Sweet! It does not say if the LFA actually has been brought to Canada or still in the US and being advertised to see if someone here wants to buy it.

From my discussion with the Sales Manager today the car is actually here for viewing. Not sure if that is a set in stone thing but I will update when I know more. Honestly the Black on Red looks alot more appealing but any LFA gets your blood pumping.

Actually, I like the white one a lot more. This looks like the bright white shade rather than the other not-so-good pearl white.

Can you please get the badge number?? I really wish one of those oil and gas millionaires from Calgary goes and picks this LFA up so that I can see it locally here being driven on the roads.

Wow, almost CAD 500K for US LFAs in Canada. I guess the taxes and duty do add up when crossing the border. Canadian units are bargains at 405K Anyone looking to buy a brand new canadian LFA?

There are 2 hints to this car being a US spec LFA.

1) Odometer is still set in "Miles"
2) Reliable Carriers (see passenger footwell) is a US based auto carrier which Toyota/Lexus USA utilizes when TLS is not available for shipping. They left their paper floormat behind.

A sure way to tell if its us spec is the vin plate on the driver's side hinge pillar. If there's no maple leaf printed on that black label...it's def, US spec.

Yes, we have the LFA in our showroom in Lexus of Kelowna, so it is available for viewing.


Also - about the white LFA for sale, any idea what it is getting sold for?

It arrived last thursday. We had to get all of the cross-border paperwork done and get it detailed so took a little time to get it up. We had a man in a white Lamborghini Gallardo come in to look at it yesterday, he is a Kelowna resident. There has been other interest as well. It is such a beautiful car, looove the sound of it, and the interior is actually extremely comfortable which is rare on such a sporty vehicle. Its not hard and rough like the GTR.
