Makes sense.

Similar to the FXX which you are only allowed to sell it back to ferrari within the first couple of years.

It's a great way to stop speculators driving prices up. Not that it would necessarily happen with the LF-A.

Exactly my complaint about the (stillborn) Acura GT5000!

But the likes of you and I choose cars on their engineering merit, heritage, etc - the majority of buyers do so to prop up their delicate egos and Honda or Toyota sounds just too profane for that. Apparently.

A £340k Toyota (unless it's a 2nd hand F1 car) makes even less sense than a £340k Lexus.

I'm sorry, but it looks a mess. Not a patch on the GTR design and 7 times the price

That's the spec V though. And even so, 3 times the price for the Toyota is crazy.

It looks like a 350Z with a dodgy body kit and S2k headlights
