Anyone hear from Lexus regarding LS600hL order?
I was told by my Lexus dealer, that Lexus corporate collected all the names on the LS600hL orders, and would be contacting those people with specifics (colors, options, etc.) for their orders.
That being said, I've not heard a word from them. Has anyone been contacted, or know of another method that will be used?

I don't think they'll do that.
That is way too complicated for a limited number of cars that will be available. I doubt that Lexus will even find the LS600 profitable.
If you put your deposit in, you most likely will get first dibs on your dealer's allocation...

I agree with you in principle, except my dealer was asked for their list of names, and was told that Corporate will handle all the rest. My deposit pre-dates the introduction of the 460, so I'll have dibs on the first one in my dealer's allocation, I would assume. That's their understanding.

I initially made a deposit on an LS600hL about 6 months ago.
About a month ago I was contacted by the dealer, informed that I was 1st on the list, and my choice of colors and equipment was taken. I was told that delivery would be some time in June.
Then a few days ago, I was again contacted by the dealer and informed that " ... the vehicle’s production release date has been pushed back to August. Lexus explained to our (the dealer's) people that the big reason is that there are so many hand made items on the vehicle that they are just not up to speed on production yet… They expect to speed that process up obviously as time goes along but the first few are going to be a little slower ... "

My deposit was about 8 months ago. Trying the dealer again, but no one has asked for choices, colors, etc.
Heard the news stories today regarding the car being delayed until late summer (at best?).

My dealer asked me to select colors and options 2 weeks ago. I had originally placed my order in April 2006. At that time, they told me the only info they had on the launch delay had come from unofficial sources and when I pressed them about the source, it was this website. LOL

Dealer called with a different story today. Supposedly tomorrow they will take my preferences.
Anyone know if the colors are the same as the LS460L? In particular, I think I'll be interested in the Sapphire Pearl? Any strange options / choices that came up?

The Truffle Mica, which is not available for the LS460/460L in the U.S., will be found in the LS600hL Launch Edition(limited to 100 units).

OK. It's official. The order is in. I guess persistence and annoying the dealer pays off. And I wouldn't have known that I was falling into the cracks without this board. Thanks one and all.
Went for Black Opal with Cashmere.
Didn't go for the executive seating (don't want the kids fighting over the right rear seat.)
Kind of bummed that it doesn't include the fridge or rear shade like my 430UL. Evidently, only the Executive seating package has those.
Delivery date, they have absolutely no clue.
