Lexus plays us like a fiddle with its LFA quartet

Last we checked, there were fewer than 100 Lexus LFA models in North America. So imagine our surprise to find not one, not two, but four of the automaker's carbon-fiber exotics parked under the lights in the Lexus booth at the Chicago Auto Show.
Normally, when four of the same models occupy the same stage it's hardly news. However, this quartet of Lexii represents nearly five per cent of all LFA models on our shore. Five per cent. To put that in perspective, if five per cent of Toyota Camry models sold last year were parked in the Toyota booth there would be about 15,000 sedans crammed onto the carpet.
Unexpected appearances aside, the 40-cylinder assembly (with a retail value of more than $1.5 million) gave us the perfect opportunity to see the LFA in red, black and yellow - with an assortment of factory wheels and finishes. And before you make a crack about the LFA not selling, understand these are all customer cars. In fact, one even has an EZPass still in its window. Check out our extensive gallery and let us know which is your next... um, lottery car.
