This is hilarious. I don't know how to post the link but if you go to Autispies.com, there is a story on how cool you have to be in order to buy a Lexus LF-A!!!!!

Man, if I Had that much money, I would probably buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini and not some POS Lexus.

Check out the Top Gear test on it. No doubt it's on youtube. It does nothing better than a Nissan GT-R, yet it costs many times the price. Anyone who buys one is not in any way cool, they're just stupid. It's not like when you buy a Ferrari over a GT-R. At least you're buying a brand name, a level of quality, a better depreciation.

i heard ferrari is doing something very similar (i dont know if its to the extreme of being 'cool', but they do have to preapprove you if u want to buy one) with people who want to buy the new 458 italia.

Bah, any car company can require some sort of background check. The real question is... if you're a Singh ECU tune customer, are you automatically qualify as cool enough to buy one?
