what do people think of Toyota's ambition with the LF-A?

looking at the stats released by lexus, my customers wonder if this car is really that great, 375,000 $ GM MDI? Also why a 12:1 compression ratio, and such a limited run of 500? ( my customers know so they can jack up the price, but really who is going to be able to afford to run these cars to the point they are going to be common )
