WOW! Just saw my first Lexus LFA in person...

HifiSyd · 04-30-2011, 09:41 PM

These may be more common than I'm aware, but here in Oklahoma, this seems like a big deal. Saw a white Lexus LFA a couple miles from my house today on the way back from my son's soccer game (he's a 5 year old car nut... a real chip off the old block)

Anyway, it was heading west on Danforth as I was headed east. I tried to give my son a heads up, but all I could do was point and drop my jaw. I've never been a Lexus fan, but this thing is stunning.

Anyone else seen one of these in person?

TiAg335i · 04-30-2011, 09:42 PM

they probably will always be very exclusive cars...they are extraordinarily expensive...

they will never, ever be common

BillLee · 04-30-2011, 09:55 PM

I know there's a white one in Houston..still haven't it yet.

GregTheStig · 04-30-2011, 09:57 PM

I've seen one here in Atlanta. It was LFA number 3, the first one sold to a customer, ever. The guy had only picked it up like 12 hours before I saw it at a local car meet a few months ago.

I don't care if I get judged for loving a Lexus, but god damn this thing is amazing. Expensive, yes, but awesome in every way.

I'd much rather have the Lambo Aventador, for the price.

HifiSyd · 04-30-2011, 10:08 PM

Holy Balls, that silver one is beautiful! I could stare at that thing for hours! Thanks for posting the pics!

I would too, but I doubt there are any of those running around in my neck of the woods. I'd love to see one of those in person as well.

NewYearsBoy · 04-30-2011, 10:17 PM

Nice I still haven't seen one...

miiipilot · 04-30-2011, 11:22 PM

Nope, haven't seen it. Although living in Cleveland, OH...I doubt I ever will.

I've seen them only at car shows, not on the road.

jlspeed29 · 05-01-2011, 01:23 AM

saw one here at a gas station...about 4 months ago..young asian guy pumping gas

SoTempted · 05-01-2011, 01:34 AM

Ooh, good to know there's one of those running around here. I'll keep my eye out!

BSM 135i · 05-03-2011, 12:07 PM

Saw my first LFA at MFest V in Vegas, everything about the car was

. it even hit the track with all the other cars

TMNT · 05-03-2011, 12:28 PM

There was a thread on here a while back about the first LFA's being delivered in the U.S. and I believe on of them was a white one being delivered to someone in OKC. I bet that's the one you saw.

If I recall, it was owned by someone from the OKC Thunder organization.

EDIT:
Here is it:

HifiSyd · 05-03-2011, 02:37 PM

Sweet! Thanks for the link! That has to be the one I saw.

I know there is a Chesapeake Exec/partial Thunder owner that lives within a few miles from where I saw the car... could be his?

Cptn Mo 703 · 05-03-2011, 02:55 PM

Ive seen 2 around here in the DC area, i personally do not like that car at all, the exhaust is nice but thats about it.

Justin(OKC) · 05-07-2011, 07:01 PM

I saw the white LFA in Edmond a month or so ago at Santa Fe and Covell. I heard the guy lives in Oak Tree. As for the car it looked awesome and sounded even better!!

Epik · 05-07-2011, 07:07 PM

Always thought it was way overpriced. But I saw a blue one and wow... honestly I don't know. I used to think I would rather have a Lambo or something but they are truly special cars with a lot of presence and class.

Top_Gear_Fan · 05-07-2011, 11:32 PM

I saw a black one 4 times this month...but thats probably because I keep driving past the Toyota HQ in Torrance, CA.

Have some faith dude! I bet LeBron will buy one soon if he does not have one already! ... oh wait... never mind. Yeah, you may never see one.

DevJ · 05-08-2011, 09:50 AM

That car belongs to my roommate's neighbor! The owner lives in gaillardia. It looks awesome in person

Granted, I'm just a Cowboy (not a Sooner) but isn't your roommate's neighbor also your neighbor?
