Wow, well apparently you have to have more than just $350,000 to own the new Lexus LFA....Article here:

But simply having the $350,000 to buy one of the 500 LFAs Lexus plans to produce won't be enough: Buyers must be tapped by the company to be owners. People selected to purchase the car will be based on factors such as the other cars they own, where they live, and how often and where they drive. Potential buyers must apply through an authorized Lexus distributor.

^^Who knows. Maybe Lexus has some kind of inspectors that determine whether or not your fit to own one? They apparently spy on you or something b/c they said they see how often and where you drive.

Say I was approved for purchase, and there was a big gray market for the car, for potential owners who were not approved. What would stop me from selling it for a mark-up? Did Lexus definitely decide that this car was available for lease only? Couldn't I sublease it, or do like one of those "swapalease" things?

I wonder how long before a discrimination suit appears.

^more or less and yes that is how they sold the ENZO.
I like this idea as it rewards those who are loyal to a brand, who likely drive cars who they are to be driven, and who have the $ to back it up.
I hate seeing cars like this go to 'new money'
