For those who are said Japs are out of design & idea just take a look at the Lexus LFA. Innovative design like no other else. I bet you can't find a smiliarity to any other car.

 

 

Thanks

I find LFA extremely ugly.

 

Seriously.

 

In that category. I can also choose:

Lambo aventador

Pagani huayra

La Ferrari

Ferrari 458 Italia

 

I might even be able to buy two cars above using lfa money

I like it! Fort component level, Lexus is extremely reliable. And LFA is targeting America market. Singapore market is too too small.

What is happening in Singapore to not reflect other part of the world. Camry and Accord monthly sales in America is nearly 20,000 units. The number COE is less than 30,000 per year.

Hi all, check JD Power. Lexus is on the top rating. Toyota is more concern Chinese and American market. Singapore is far too small.

I just wanted to notify about design that Toyota has made. Since they are making low cost car for mostly asin market so it's might be natural to find vey small difference/upgrade from one model to another.

It's pretty natural that everyone's choise isn't same. You may found LFA ugly.

 

But those car you have mentioned is not in the same category of LFA. Aventador, LA Ferrai, 485 Italia price ranges are more than double than LFA & Pagani at least 3 times higher than LFA.

Errrrrr, the LFA is defnitely more expensive than the 458 and its quite abit more at least 500k more. Its around the same price as the aventador and the huayra is slightly more. The only difference is that the LFA choose you,not you choose the LFA cuz its only purchased through invitation. The rest you got money you can buy.

very true about the pricing due to the limited run of 500 units worldwide..

 

but LFA or Toyota didn't choose...for every country there were only limited allocation of units, definitely there were some form of invitation to gauge the interests..and they managed to increase additional units based on the total confirmed interest in Singapore...

What i meant is if you want an LFA, you must go to Borneo and tell them you're interested. They will then look at whether you qualify by looking at your past purchases of lexus vehicles. If they think u qualify and got available units, then its yours. If they think u qualify, but got no unit for u, then they will try to fight for u to get one. Thats why Borneo initially had 2 allocated, in the end they got 6 i think as they fought for the other 4.

 

I sorta know, because my uncle had gotten one. He was deemed a loyal customer as he has every model of the lexus family at the SAME TIME except the CT at the time he expressed his interest and thats excluding the ones he had in the past.

collected the hybrid

omv of 42k

 

 

 

congratulations, it's a really nice looking car. i prefer its low profile styling to the GS's "try to hard to be muscular"

 

42k... that's not bad? these days even F10 is around that level, and it costs so much more.

For such "atas" brand, of course cannot name the trim levels as "basic" lah even if the trims is basically basic. That's when "executive" line comes in. [grin] This is called marketing.

 

Back to Lexus biscuits, the key difference is

 

- Mark Levinson audio system with 15 speakers (if you're deaf, still can hear)

- Tilt & slide panoramic glass roof (as if Singapore is not hot enough).

 

Of course, there are some minor diff like missing rain sensing wipers, folding mirrors, etc...
