How does Lexus/Toyota go about building its "A" "B" and "C" option packages for each car? I was toying around the Lexus website today and wanted to build an IS350AWD, as my other car is paid off, so I'm thinking about getting another more practical car (other car is an 08 G37S Coupe). When I went to build a 350AWD, I put in my zip code (Wisconsin) and it let me build a car, but the options that the book shows are available for the car are not availible in my "region" supposedly?? Why would Lexus/Toyota not allow consumers to get a "fully loaded" car anywhere in the country? It makes no sense. No other brand of cars that I've been looking at (Infiniti/Nissan, BMW, and some others) have their options grouped together into different "regional offerings", making it not possible to get a car with the options that you actually want.
I've got to say that the way that Lexus/Toyota allows options is almost a deterrant for me to purchase one of their cars.

I've noticed several car makes have the same problem when configuring online. Audi, Toyota, and some others don't always show available options. Sometimes other websites like Edmunds.com help or a quick visit to the dealer to take a peek at stickers helps too.

I could get a fully loaded Infiniti G sedan for about 45, with every option, so I think that may be the way I go.

yeah, but there is no ML, or IPA or even ventilated seats in there.

I did talk to my Lexus dealer today about getting a car with the options that I want and was told "You don't want all that crap- its just going to break." I guess they either didn't want to do the work to get me a car that I'd be happy with, or just didn't care about anything at all.

The ML and Park assist is nice, but dynamic cruise control and headlamp washers seem kinda pointless.
I've never in my life got out of my car and only washed the headlamps.![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
The dynamic cruise control just seems gimmicky - plus I bet if you left that one item off you'd find a car much easier.
