I don't follow - the Black line edition doesn't include the paint color and you have to spend and additional $500 for the premium paint? That seems like a lot of money to get black and grey nulux, open pore wood, and some different rims. Personally I would only consider if I really wanted the Green. If not, I would just get a premium or a premium plus if any are to be had. But of course, to each their own, so if you like the blacked out look ...

I am totally with you on this one. Very expensive for not much.

This is exactly it. My dealer told me even the Premium Plus package would likely not be allocated until December due to a chip shortage in the ML Audio components.

Hmm, is the door insert around the window switches no longer wood? Not a big deal if it isn't. I will say that I am not too sure how much better that new head unit is. For sure apple car play is better, but not sure how much worse it is to have my phone on a vent mount vs having that built in touch pad that will never get used and a touch screen that looks like it might be a longer reach. But I personally don't have a issue with going into the climate nav to adjust the air speed/flow.

That's apparently wrong as I've seen some VIN's on Autotrader that include the Premium Plus package w/ ML.

Siblue,
Did you get heated/ventilated seats with your BL?
There is no mentioning of heated/ventilated seats in the BL package details on the window sticker or data sheet, yet it is noted in the style comparison (on Lexus's website) that BL does come equipped with them.

Thanks.

The BL includes the premium package so it has ventilated seats.

No ML audio? dealbreaker.

Siblue

Yes I have heated/ventilated front seats and heated rear outboard seats.
Also heated steering wheel.
None of those are stated per Lexus site.

I wish it didn't actually have the heated steering wheel as I'd rather just have a standard leather wrapped steering wheel as I don't care for the wood and generally have a hand at 12 o'clock.

Great to know! I hate being given wrong information from the dealer. Thanks for that link.

So you have a wood steering wheel then? I actually like the wood lol I miss it from my LX
and greatly prefer heat even though lexus does a poor job with it. Is that listed on your vspec (build sheet)?

thanks

Siblue

Yes it’s matte finish wood.
not listed in my vspec

Excellent…fingers crossed mine arrives likewise. Appreciate the reply.
