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?

This is exactly what leads to a car becoming a high value classic. Good cars that aren’t super popular when they come out frequently rise in value once people have time to appreciate them. Toyota wiped the board and started over 3 times on the LFA, it was never going to be profitable. It became a moonshot car and contines to be a halo for the brand, the LC cars have very reminiscent styling and i think this helps those cars find relative success. The ford GT, Carrera GT, S2000, Toyota FJ, they weren’t very well liked in their time but ridiculous prices now
