Anyone here planning to buy a Lexus LFA???

Yea, I've posed the question on multiple forums and so far not one person has stepped forward saying they are buying the car. I'm wondering what's in their heads, if they are seriously thinking it's just a matter of time and they will pick all the buyers, or if someone at Lexus is sitting in their office somewhere nervously biting their nails afraid to tell senior management that they have the biggest flop this side of the Vector.

Looks good, great sound. But after that what do you have ? Lexus has no image at all especially in Europe. You guys told about Japanese chauvinism but yeah Lexus is ... an american branche of Toyota. I haven't seen that much Lexus in Japan ... Some IS-F but very few ...
I think as a second hand car it's going to be a good deal since I believe price is going to decline. fast.

Heard from a friend that IS-F is fun to drive on tracks. (he owns one)
Nothing compared to the boring LS or things like that I imagine. That might even be the second problem for the LF-A. It's not even a real Lexus ...

Minus the LS series, it doesnt produce ANY of it's own cars.

Only a poor soul whose grasp of reality has been so destroyed by being repeatedly kicked in the head by a mule while simultaneously being violated by Jox would even consider buying this car.

I've heard that. This was to keep the speculators away. There are no speculators in the first place. They really think there is going to be this giant wave of buyers which allows them to set the terms of their cars. I think the real reason they are leasing cars is because they know they have a turd on their hands and don't want to see it drop in value like a stone. Their only option is to then control the resale price. I'm drawing these conclusions because of the negative comments I see online and how few have expressed serious interest on the forums. Where is that guy who's standing up and says they have experience in X and are stepping up to buy an LFA? I'm a Lexus owner so I have no gripe with the company other than I don't believe at all for a moment they have enough buyers in the first place or they would be posting something somewhere. If you want an interesting exercise, go to the Lexus forum and read who's a big fan. It's people who don't have plans to buy, and have no experience with exotics. If they have time to give non-buyers demo rides in a $375k car I think it's safe to conclude there is a lack of interest. I think the LFA is going to be a giant flop. I'm happy to be corrected if someone can point somewhere where these buyers actually exist outside of a few in Japan.
