Lexus has to actually select you to lease its (admittedly awesome) car. Once you're chosen, you've got 10 days to drop off a $10,000 deposit at your local Lexus dealer and submit to a credit check. We should mention that this will not be the only deposit and credit check Lexus requires.
Where's the Honda606 tard who claimed this was not true (that no selection would take place)?

Wouldn't it technically be $60k down payment as the $237k is the result of $12,400 over the course of 24 months?

I love this car so much... the price is outrageous!

The people paying the lease price will most likely not give a crap... lets face it, This is aimed at the wealthier .01% of America that CAN afford it... You'll be lucky to see one driving on the streets.

a few things I like about it

A) Weighted steering pedals (why didn't anyone come up with that?)

B) 9k rpm V10... ridonkadonk

C) the cool TFT screened tachometer

You pay the entire lease up front. $10k, then another $50k, then the remaining $237k when you get the car. So, you prepay the entire lease-up front.

I'm a few grand short, so I'm going to have to pass.
