Chill out guys. We will know soon enough. I am sure we will see those LFA owner's impressions floating around the internet.
For now, the closest I found was this on the Nissan GTR (NAGTROC) page about a performance tuning shop owner ('Forged performance') driving the LFA: Quote:

Great exhaust note, still think that carrera gt sounds better. Have heard both. Carrera gt nicer interior and exterior. The lexus looks, lexus bland. 400k so many other choices. If exclusivity is what you are after the lexus is it. If you want looks to go with the price tag I would look elsewhere.

Materials, fit, finish and high-tech technology as well as luxury amenities wise, LFA is way ahead of the Carrera GT, which was elegant, but very simple. LFA uses alcantara, leather, aluminum and carbon fiber for the interior. Carrera GT also cost $450,000 back in 2004 + plus options.
Exhaust and exterior styling is subjective.

Forged Performance owns a highly modified Nissan GTR and actually participate in track racing competitions so he does compete.
The black LFA (#026) now delivered in Chicago. The delivery news was so big in the suburbs of Chicago that it made it to the WGN news on TV. Looks just stunning in black: http://www.wgntv.com/videobeta/676c9...-South-Suburbs

Second and third person accounts about this car is pointless already. How about 1st person accounts? Where are these owners? They are reluctant to post their impressions on the very sight that supports the brand.

They don't lurk around the internet. The silver LFA owner from what I have found out through several people was answering everyone's questions at the Caffeine and Octane meet and giving detailed accounts of the LFA and his experience. You should go and see him and he will tell everything in detail, if you don't believe the 1sicklex guy. It is consistent with just about every other review I have seen so far.
Otherwise, the only few LFA owners I found on the internet are waiting to receive their LFAs yet for a while.

Wherever they are, that is not what this thread is intended to be for. I have got ample proof of people talking with the silver LFA owner who has put over 200 miles in weeks on the car despite bad weather and has been seen several times in previous NAGTROC meets with his modified Nissan GTR and R8 V10 so he did not pop out of nowhere.
It is about Lexus delivering LFAs to customers and if you disagree that is fine since some people really don't want this car to be what it is turning out to be. Quote:

Has anyone on this forum ever driven a CGT? It looks like the sifter position would get really annoying quickly. I have sat in one, but never driven one.

In city driving, the only annoying thing I have heard is the clutch, which is very difficult to modulate where either it ends up stalling or the driver ends up torching the rear tires. On uphill inclines, it is even more difficult. It is very on/off like. But, it is to be expected in a car with no internal inertia.

Dang, I can't imagine what it'd be like to see my brand new LFA being rolled off the truck! I got excited enough just seeing my new G37 with the plastics still on rolled out to me. I'd probably go into convulsions if that was my LFA.....

A member on Audi/Volkswagen forums had an encounter with the silver Lexus LFA and its owner:
