LFA pros and cons?

[JapSuperCarsFTW]

I'm helping a (an extremely rich) friend to pick out a car for his own birthday. He was thinking LFA, Gallardo, or a 458 Spyder. So far, LFA is winning, because there are a couple dealers in my area that have, and let's be honest, owning one out of only five hundred available in the world is pretty boss.

How would would you choose? Any opinions?

Since's money is not an issue, y not buy 1 each?..hehe

 

[JapSuperCarsFTW]

haha maybe he'll get one for each of his birthdays... but right now he would rather enjoy one toy at a time lol.

Right now i'm craving for a mclaren MP4-12C... LFA is just a F1 sounding sport car, buy it for the sound n unique only, still a lexus. 458 spyder is a icon n best performance among the bunch, but i prefer the new open hardtop MP4-12C. Galardo is nothing new n non special anymore since the new avantador came out to play. Also can consider the AMG SLS, the brute force V8 sound like a machine gun. The latest super car in the market will be the aston martin vanquish, looks amazing n nothing can compare to the V12 sound.

Those lambo ride like a horse in malaysian road, 458 came second, third AMG SLS, then Lexus LFA, last the MP4-12C ride like a rolls royce, the most comfort hyper car money can buy.

My point of view is base on comfort, performance, looks, n LIKE A BOSS...

Cons:
I'm gonna get shot for this, but at the end of the day Lexus is just a glorified Toyota. You want a supercar, you buy Italian. Its the same really, if you want timepiece heirloom, you buy a Patek, not a Grand Seiko, regardless how good the Grand Seiko is, its not a Swiss watch. Likewise, as good as the Lexus, its not an Italian supercar.

Ferrari has the history, the pedigree, and the trophies to back it up. Lexus? Just a brand man, Toyota didn't win squat in the big boy's game, they only won in their own backyard with Super GT. Formula 1, Le Mans, Indianapolis, any race in the world you name it Ferrari won it.

EDIT: The Lexus LFA is a nice car though. If he already has an Italian supercar in the garage, then by all means buy it.

I agree.. Ferrari has much to back it up compared to Lexus. He already has a Pagani Zonda F in his garage.. guess it couldn't hurt to try something new? I'll definitely take your words into consideration though.

If he has a Zonda, surely LF-A wont be able to satisfy him enough. Maybe the Mclaren MP4-12C would suit him more or the Ferrari 599XX? :top:

is yr fren's name HanRacing?..

 

[JapSuperCarsFTW]

don't get it =x

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

don't get it =x

Your friend staying in Kuala Lumpur or he is living in overseas? Doesn't sounds like local
if he owns a Zonda...

 

[joethurr]

which dealer in Kl have a LFA ???

He still havent answer this question..

bro ehdrian.. you are most probably right.. must be another "hanracing" or similar trolling case..

 

[lil_piggy2]

Where can u repair a LFA???? or which person can handle parts change for that car in Msia??? Lambo and Ferrari has support here.... I dun think the LFA has any experienced person to handle it here...

 

[JapSuperCarsFTW]

My friend is not around here... he's in Canada.

Got money to buy supercar but no money to sort out maintenance meh?

I'd just get the LFA. Once I'm bored with it I'd give it to my 3 year old daughter to play with then get another supercar.

Repeat process until I run out of kids to give to and start giving to neighbours.

When to stop? When I finally get a Koenigsegg CCXR.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

I just want a Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 will do...would sleep in it everyday...

 

[esthapo]

Well not to argue but there's Msian registered Zonda spotted in Penang

 

[cRazYee]

i think you fren must learn the fact the LFA will be only available for selected customer
in north american, you got to rent the car for 2 years. Dont think it can resell without notify lexus

be it your fren in canada or Malaysia, will he be patient to queue on waiting list, not to say that those 500 units have been sold out (maybe a few left)

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Yes, too bad is limited edition and a car that not everyone can own....just get a Skyline GTR-35 which is as good as LF-A in stock.

After modification, u will know who will eat the smoke instead...limited edition but is more like a luxury car...

 

[pwhyze]

Nissan GT-R is already too common..if he's talking about supercars then definitely need to take into account the exotic factor. In terms of rareness, LFA>GTR.
