And they're doing just fine with their target audience. Not a Lexus fan, and I don't think I would buy the car if I had a bunch of millions lying around, but I really can't say for sure, as it's only hypothetical. Honestly, the opinion of us "common folk" about this car is completely irrelevant anyway. |

If it improves the brand image, which I'm sure it would, It will be more effective than spending money on advertising. Also, I'm sure that a lot of the tech used to build the LFA will be used on other L-Tuned cars in the future. Toyota is not a company that usually plans to make something to lose money.

I think traditionally, Lexus has been viewed as a company that sold "pimped out" toyotas. Even though that it isn't true anymore I believe a lot of ignorant people automatically rule out lexus cars because of this. Having a supercar and blowing it up all over the air certainly adds a sense of "class" and "superiority" to their whole car line which could show some of the ignorant people that lexus cars have progressed to something respectable and classy.

I have been on Mercedes, Acura, Honda, Mitsu, Lexus forums and the BMW forum seems to be the worst with the brand whores.
Remember the thread when Hyundai Genesis first came out? |

Crickets.... Hello? You are not kidding? No. Psssft. I thought it would be around 60. It reminded me of a fancy Nissan Z. He is not a big car guy but you get my drift. I think the ad blitz is backfiring. |

they are marketing it in such a way that people will think that the engineering will trickle down to their lower models and make them have "super car" like features designed into them. True is I doubt any carbon fiber will be found (in substantial amounts) on any future lexus. No half the other crap on that car.
Nissan GTR 1/4 mile time = 11.9 LFA 1/4 mile time = 11.8 Worth the money??? Yes to millionaires who have driven lexus' their whole lives and now a couple years from the grave they finally decide to blow some cash. I'll be willing to bet the average age of the LFA owners will be the oldest of ANY other super car out there by at least 15 years.
