2006 Lexus Western Area Production Build

now using the ratio between the canadian and us price, then the new gs430 is going to be about 57k and the gs300awd is about 43k (and your fully loaded one would be about 50k)

Also, the 2006 GS300 is a 30% production build AWD and a 70% production build RWD. The RWD should be close to the MSRP we had in 2005 and the AWD should be about $2200 more.
The "Premium Package" car will come with more standard features. Including but not limited to: power rear sunshade, park assist, ventilated seats, sonar park assist, and "17 wheels.
(Lexus has NOT confirmed if AWD will be 100% Navi/Levi.)
Within the RWD, 30% will be "Premium Package" and 70% "Navi/Levi".
The GS430 will be all fully loaded (like last year) with "18 wheels this time.
Longo Lexus will have some GS's in our computer probably around beginning/mid February as they are coming over on the boats.

Also, will the GS have front park assist like the LS?
Thanks.

I know this because I saw a pic here on the forum that showed both the camera and the "blemishes" that the sonar-system needs to work on the same car in the same picture.
If anyone knows where that pic went....

[QUOTE=Longo Lexus]Yes, that is more accurate, thank you Rominl.

Does this basically mean that there will be no real options with the 2006 GS430? Only choices to make are exterior and interior colors? To me, this is good and bad. Bad, because one would probably pay for an option or two that one did not want or need. Good, because finding the right car will only involve two variable, exterior and interior colors.

Not necessarily, of course you will have the choice to order what you want at the expense of time to order and it's availability. Dealerships are allocated models that are most popular for your region. A good example would be an RX330. Here in SoCal, the RX330 w/Premium Plus Package is more readily available than those base models with the 17" rims, no wood trim and no power tailgate.

The Pre-Collision System has bumper sensors for front and rear...a sonar system that is new to Lexus.

*If you are on a waiting list, then I strongly urge you to stay in contact with your local dealer as US packages seem to differ from region to region.*

the issue in Canada is that car prices haven't kept pace with the strengthening Cdn dollar
The ratio of CAD/USD prices is still around 1.45 whereas the $C is now at 1.22
It may take a year before this corrects itself because car companies pre-hedge their currency exposure.

The just have to hedge against the weakening of the US$ to protect the repatrioted profits from the US market the best they can.
