2011 Lexus LFA Supercar is Only for Lease
Brian G Randles — December 6, 2009 — Autos
In an effort to thwart all those who would try to drive up the price of the Lexus LFA supercar, which will hit the American market in January of 2011, Lexus has announced the car will be available by lease only.
Lease holders will be able to buy the car after the two years are up. According to Brian Smith, Lexus VP of Sales, the idea behind the Lexus LFA supercar is to get “people out driving the car and not just parking it in a museum or selling it at an inflated price.” Check out more Lexus cars below.
