Being such a masterpiece, I always wonder why the LFA didn’t do well when it first came out. Yet now you see them selling for damn near $1M. It’s like Van Gogh. No one appreciated the work of art until it was gone. But why?

Delayed appreciation, basically. When it came out, we’d been waiting a decade, and for the price point it was underwhelming… especially considering it was “just a Lexus”.
People now with that good ol’ hindsight, realize what Toyota was doing with the LFA. It’s primary purpose was as a test bed for future Lexuses…plus you can’t deny how cool a Toyota-Yamaha designed V10 is.
