Lexus LF-A goes on sale in October - LotusTalk

I like this part...
20 cars are earmarked for the UK, starting in early 2010, and each owner being introduced to their car at a private circuit in Spain by one of Toyota’s hand-picked driving superstars.

Autocar - Lexus LF-A supercar costs £250k

Well, for the ridiculous price they are charging for one, the owner better get special treatment.

Hmmm, does it come with a pit crew too?

forget the track drive and just give us an IQ citycar as a spare to chug around town in. kinda like that Aston Martin Cygnet.

...with a (carbon) fiber composite tub chassis and aluminum body clams, it'll be not unlike a supersized inside-out lotus...

...that's an amusing thought - what if supercar manufacturers also all produced extremely limited edition supercompact economy runabouts, exclusively and universally sold in matched-chassis-number pairs with their flagship vehicles?..

...just seeing the little dinghy flitting about its daily commute would become an exclusive status symbol in itself, not to mention going a very long way toward giving the manufacturers automatic compliance with CAFE standards...very clever, johnnie!..
