My wife surprised me with a Green BL for my birthday. We received a message today letting us know it is scheduled to be at the dealer early next week. MSRP 61370 no markup. She had it written up in such a way that once it came in if I didn't like the color we could switch the deposit to another vehicle. I like the color especially after seeing the photos in this thread..

Well, I'm going to be getting a Starfire Pearl Black Line from an in state dealership now and I'm glad to not be working with the other dealership anymore.
This one has an order date of 8/2021 so it's possible it's already in the US. The dealer is going to check and let me know.

We took delivery of a Green BL GX today. My wife placed a deposit late on the 17th of September for a GX that was allocated to the dealership with an expected delivery in late November. It came in today on the 25th of september, quite a bit quicker than expected. The salesman said he received a call on the morning of the 18th from the person that records deposits at the dealership to insure ours was a serious deposit because they had received two other requests to place a deposit on it. So we feel lucky to have it and have it this early. The interior color was the only aspect I was concerned with. Specifically the contrasting grey and black leather on the seats, it seemed like too much of a contrast for my taste. After seeing it in person the color difference between the black and grey is much more subdued than what is shown in the marketing photos. The black to my eye is a very dark grey and the lighter grey isn't as light/bright as shown in the marketing photos.

I just noticed the ‘22 GX center stack might be more of a pain for those who want to retro fit. The console side panels look to be bigger and the console itself may have to be included. I’d love to get my hands on one secretly so I can take the console and panels apart to see what’s what. So irritating Toyota didn’t have a better infotainment system for so bloody long. It’ll be a real disaster if the dash itself was slightly updated too...
Here’s a couple of pics to illustrate my point.

That was also my thought. I really would like to explore this but I’ll need sons time for the ‘22 models to be everywhere so I can get my grubby hands on one to take apart. I’m really disappointed in all of these android radio things with carplay capability. We drive a few thousand miles a year on long road trips (almost ~7k miles this year alone) so carplay is just too important to not have it reliably. But I digress. It’s almost to the point of selling my 460 for something with it from the factory but not a new ‘22.

No is the short answer. I am one of the few that doesn't need or want it due to a hearing disability. The ML not being available on the BL will definitely cause some to go with a different trim in order to get it.

It has the option for the ML but most of the first patches came without it most likely later production models will have that option for the Blackline. I want the Nori green but not having ML is a huge thing to consider. I have it now in my current Lexus, I will go listen to the sound system in a GX soon without it to determine if it’s an option I can live without.

While I am guessing the ‘22’s are going to most likely have stronger resale value going forward, I would be reticent paying more than MSRP period and without dealer additions.
That said, with used cars being worth so much, if I had a newer GX, I would seriously consider getting a ‘22 before used car prices go back to normal and prices for 2020-2021’s dropping due to the ‘22’s having addressed the infotainment.

The salesman I worked with said it wasn't available. On Lexus.com it shows the ML available as an option on the 'Luxury trim' and available as part of as package on the 'Premium trim'. It may not be available on the 'base trim' to push customers up to the 'premium trim' but I don't understand why it would not be offered on the 'BL trim'.
