It does look like he likes the Lexii... Maybe the RC-F in particular isn't as bad as Jeremy Clarkson (and he made a nice little dig at JC for having trouble with the TC of the RC-F) and the rest of the internet like to let on...

The LFA key looks exactly the same as our RX valet key which is amazing quality right there (the standard integrated remote key would have its casing in bits and pieces after some years of use).

The LFA is one of the few exotic supercars that I think justifies its price in terms of the craftsmanship and obsessive level of detail its designers and engineers put into it. SG also did a recent video on the 458 Italia, and whilst that is a fantastic supercar, and likely quicker than the LFA all around, the lack of care in its construction was evident - after just a few thousand km the interior was coming apart worse than a typical Japanese economy car! And there is no comparing the underbodies... the LFA's is light years ahead in terms of design, materials etc.

Sure, the LFA was never the quickest supercar even in its heyday, but it has something special about it that a run of the mill Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren seems to lack.

There's this girl in Japan who's probably mid or so 20's. I don't know wtf her job is or if she even has one. But she owns an LFA and a Porsche Boxter, and is constantly hanging out with other rich kids of Japan who have Lamborghinis and Ferraris. It's insane.

But I give her props because she actually drives it (the LFA) fairly often. I think it's probably sort of like a fashion piece to her but given that she seemingly drives it multiple times a week, I almost don't even mind.

Now have that go past your bedroom window 20 times a night and see if you still enjoy it.
