Because its not like every other ferrari or lambo. It does the same job and not everyone will have one. Nissan has proven that japanese engineering can provide the same performance as the european counterparts. Do you not think a company the size of Toyota wouldn't have the resources to do the same? This isn't going to be some scion where the enthusiasm of motoring will be watered by the mass production filter. This is the company's crown jewel. Also, everyone has their own taste. just because you have the money for a fine watch, would you go clamoring to the nearest Rolex store?

are you from Texas or are you from England?

If it has Ferrari/Lambo performance + Lexus reliability and you can drive it everyday and not have to worry about putting too many miles on it then it will be worth the money. I don't think it looks like $200,000 though.

people who buy $200K+ car cares about heritage and pedigree. Right now, LF-A doesn't have any.
Lexus competes well with M3 b/c of similar price point. I don't see it beating a Ferrari.
It might sell as well as the NSX in 2006 at $200K+

I doesn't really need to compete against Ferrari because there aren't enough Ferrari's to go around.

No way that FUGLY thing will go for $225k. I would be surprised if it costs more than a R8.

Canada, actually. So, a commonwealth of England. In my work, I use the American versions of words but otherwise, I type them as I was taught in Canada.

The Gasman

Noone will buy it at that price.

You are slightly off. People with that kind of money want bang for their buck. They want the NEW, and something no one else has. Pedigree? From the company that gave us the 2000GT, the Supra, the MR2, etc? Toyota also was a huge part of a Formula series and various other motorsports (even nascar). They have the money to throw around into pet projects. As for "no one" buying it they also said no one would buy a 1001hp, million dollar car. Thats a short sided comment.
