Full size spare was no longer on any of the car and sales person told me it was not available - would not fit. Trunk space for spare looked big enough to me. Most notable to me was at this point at least white cars with black interiors were available which hasn't been the case in the region in past years.

To clarify, no ventilated seats on the
standard Nuluxe seats, but ventilation is
available on the optional leather
seats. Correct?

Chandler Lexus had 5 last night and was delivering the only one with leather while I was there. And they had good colors (for me at least) with white and satin cashmere as well as a silver. As mentioned I really liked the black interiors.

And in looking through the sale brochure I see that a full size spare is no longer even shown as an option.

This morning I stopped by the Lexus dealership not too far from me and they had two 2013's on display. One outside and one in the show room. I checked out the Starfire Pearl/Cashmere car in the showroom. Overall the exterior (including grill) and interior looked much better in person than in any of the pictures I've seen. There was an LS on the floor next to it in Nebula Gray which is available on the new ES. Beautiful color IMO. The car was all detailed and looked great.

That is correct - heated available without leather but not ventilated. Leather only with the Luxury or Ultra. Luxury package seems to be about $1,000.

Just got a call from my salesman, they have their first 2013! He's trying to swap me into one. Not that I'm going to do it just yet...but he's tryin'

I like the blue one up top (love the wheels), but I do have to say I miss the chrome accents on the exterior, the door handles and door trim...
