I never understood the attraction of the LFA. The car does not look that great, the engine even for the time was less powerful than others, it is impossibly cramped inside and it came with Toyota's commitment to street performance - which does not exist. Current prices are simply due to the fact that there weren't many produced since they did not sell when new - that is, it was not an attractive car relative to others. High prices for the LFA now do not change the fact this was a dud. Anyone now buying one of these will simply park it and seldom, if ever, drive it. Let the hue and cry of LFA fan boys begin.
Yet most auto journalists including Clarkson say its the best car they have ever driven. Edited by ManyMotors on Saturday 25th December 17:09

Spleen, Make some substantive point about the LFA refuting my assertion that the car was not a commercial success. Or write something about LFA recent pricing being merely about rarity and not functionality. All you have done in your recent writing is continually whine, which may well just be your character. Or, perhaps, you don't recall what was written.

I was involved in the launch of these & had the pleasure of driving one in anger. The noise is worth the money for sure. This now has to be my new favourite colour, love it.
I now work here, you must know some people I know!Lexus Chester had an LFA years ago, and I got to hear it rev in the showroom. fk me
It's lovely in that green, it matches the design's balance between aggression and elegance much better than paler or more vivid colours.
I also love that all Lexus signature vehicles come with a bit of (rather transparent) apocrypha about their development. The "too responsive for an analogue tacho" gets trotted out for the LFA, which is good for a giggle...

Clarkson's endorsement did little for the LFA's commercial appeal. Maybe the problem was that it is just a Toyota. Or, maybe the problem is that Clarkson has little authority.
