In an interesting bid to foil exotic car speculators who drive up the prices of limited-availability models, Lexus will reportedly lease - not sell - itsforthcoming LFA supercar when it hits the market in January of 2011. As Automotive News reports, Lexus will only offer two-year leases of its 552-horsepowersupercar at a fixed price (which has not yet been disclosed). At the conclusion of the two year period, leaseholders will get the opportunity to purchase thevehicle outright, at which point the title would be handed over. As Lexus' vice president of sales and dealer development Brian Smith tells it, his companywants "people out driving the car and not just parking it in a museum or selling it at an inflated price."

As part of the gearing-up process to sell this markedly different kind of vehicle, Lexus will also reportedly train 15 LFA specialists that will be located atthe company's four regional outposts, and the Japanese automaker will also pay for dealers to receive the special tools and training that will service thevehicles.

Despite being a lease, all cars will still be individually tailored to the customer and built-to-order beginning in December of 2010.

This is certainly an interesting and potentially very clever end-around on the speculator's market. If it works, look for other exotic car companies likeFerrari and Lamborghini to follow suit.
 
it's okay looking. the specs are nice though. but that 370,000 price tag is ridiculous and laughable. If we're talking that price range: LP640 >LF-A 599 GTB Fiorano > LF-A DBS V12 > LF-A and those three cost less. hell I'll even take the V10 R8 over this.
 
what a waste of a beautiful car by putting a rattle can like paint job on it.
 
imo, this=toyota's version of the mb slr. which was od imo...and this car is od too. looks like it'd be a hoot to drive...but i wouldnt want it...itdamn near doesnt even look useable. i'd take an R8 over this and be perfectly satisfied.
