I was actually intrigued by this car and it really turned my head!
SO I went to the Lexus website and was actually saying to myself WOW not a bad ride, I can order it in Pink, Purple, Aqua, or about 30 other colors.. Ohh and Alcantara is an option!! WOO HOO!
I was thinking as many times I saw this car on a commercial on cable TV it would prob run around $100,000 to $120,000..
Then I got to the price and I LOL'd hard.....
4.8L V10 552hp
9000 max RPM
202mph top speed
Starting at $375,000
Starting at $375,000???
Starting at $375,000???????
STARTING AT $375,000!!!!!!! LMAO
Now I am not hating on Lexus owners here but hear me out on this..
Why would anyone pay $375k for this car when you can get a BRAND NEW Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, etc for less??
I swear Lexus has gone bonkers.. This car is no where near a Lambo, Porsche, Or Ferrari...
BRAND NEW Prices Below (all are starting base prices)
2011 Lexus LFA - $375,000
2010 Lambo Gallardo - $221,000
2010 Lambo Murcielago - $354,000
2009 Ferrari 599 - $320,580
2009 Ferrari F430 - $218,310
2010 Ferrari California - $192,000
2010 Porsche 911 Turbo - $143,000
2010 Audi R8 - $146,000
2010 Aston Martin DBS - $273,000
Its one thing to try to compete with Mercedes and BMW but I think they are way in over their head trying to go after the exotics..
Its sad enough people spend alot of money on a Lexus then three years down the road you can buy the exact car with Toyota Camry badges...
Whats your thoughts?
