I would wait or special order, its the only way to get the options you want, I love black but I know I would go nuts with every little scratch so I ordered SP. Good Luck seems like a good deal

Oh well, should have, but I couldn't.... So, I bought it!

Growing tired of looking around and hopeless to get the features I want. I figured the deal was as good as it could be and I was eager to depart from my 3GS -sadly anyhow. There are aesthetic reasons why I did like it very much. But the interior is all another story... squeaks and other sounds that are popping from more than one location were bothering me.

So, it's done! I hope the black on black will grow on me. The interior is great.
If the 2014 or 2015 will have good reasons to upgrade ill do so (read mr. Lexus: powered trunk and powered side mirrors). Considering the trades I did not loose money by buying used now (bought the 3GS new in 1/25/12!). I also felt the 3GS value will go down more rapidly now, maybe.
So, it's all well.

Congrats on the new car, you will enjoy it though, Yeah I had the same problem I couldn't wait so I just took the plunge and purchased the car, the interior is really what sold me yes the exterior had something to do with it but from the 3GS is was a night and day difference.

Actually, the black exterior is growing on me pretty fast. Well It's clean...
I must say that I am very very impressed by the solidity of this car compared to the 3GS. I had no idea it would feel so differently. And, I am surprised by the standard audio system. The sound is pristine and clean. I'm very pleased.
Thanks.

Glad you like it. 28k miles on a Lexus is nothing, and it's a nice combo.

Thanks... I know 28k is nothing on a Lexus. I had my 2gs for 10yrs and 100k no problems.
But my "new" toy has just over 2k, and it's practically new!

If I may have an observations:

I love the smooth and yet composed ride. I cant ask more than that. its wonderful.
But, why does the rear view mirror shake on highway speed? My previous 2gs and even the 3GS were rock solid in that regard.
Is it normal?
