Hey everyone, here is the allocation for the first group of IS's coming for the west coast:
IS250 6 speed: 25
As far as I can see from the production sheet, all manual cars are pretty much basic, no nav upgrade built on this group.
Colors: Crystal White, Smokey Granite, Tungsten , Black, and Matador Red
IS250 RWD: 551
220 are nav cars and 331 are basic cars.
Colors: All colors are available.
IS250AWD: 32
Looks like all are basic with "17 wheels.
Colors: No Desert Sage, no Breakwater Blue. All other colors are available.
IS350: 340
118 are nav "Premium Plus"
Colors: All colors are available.
171 are regular "Premium Plus"
Colors: All colors are avilable.
34 are nav "Premium Luxury Plus"
Colors: All colors are available.
17 are nav "Performance Luxury Plus"
Colors: Smokey Granite, Tungsten, and Black are only colors available.
Please keep in mind this is the first shipment which will arrive in mid-late October and there will be another gang of IS's on a boat coming right around the corner in November.
There is no Mark Levinson option available in the first group of cars. If you can't live without it, then a special 3 month order is always possible.
It looks like all west coast cars are coming with "18 wheels, except for AWD of course.
As always, please pm me with any questions you don't want the whole world to read!

If No ML is true, Lexus really screwed up. All the demo cars are loaded to the max, yet, they aren't delivering them. I asked my dealer if they could place an order WAY back, at least then I could have exactly what I wanted whenever the actual release date turned out to be. That would have guaranteed some happy customers. Now we have to wait an additional 3-4 months. It's going to end up being 1 year from the intro in NY to the time we have what we desire.
What other options are coming on the initial allocation? PCS? Park Assist?

Sucks no ML equipped cars are coming at first. Some should definitely be equipped, but I'm positive many ML equipped cars will be on the way with the second allocation for the West Coast. Maybe the other regions are different, so all hope is not lost for the 1st allocation.

I doubt we will see any PCS on this car. Another expensive option, but you can absolutely order it.

Only 17 of 948 cars (less than 2%) are IS350's with the performance package, and then only in three colors and all with nav. Ugh!

In any case, Mark Levinson is available, but in a special order and if there are a lot of orders then I'm sure they will start building them. Probably they are "testing" the market since it is an expensive option.

Plus ML adds more that just a better sounding stereo! Adds DVD audio and video, effectively 7x capacity of the non-ML system. 6 x 4.7GB of MP3/WMA without the need for an aux MP3 player.

wow, nice! and only 25 6 speed? that's boring man.... i want 6 speed (but on the 350 please....)
and yup, i can never live without ML anymore, so if i were to get one, i will have to wait 90 days no brainer. for the price the upgrade is cheap imho... and yeah, lexus always do custom order, except most of the time you pay for msrp
(which is no problem in this case though)
and cooney, there are 17 performance LUXURY plus, not just performance
but i can't believe there are only 17 for that still

As all of the Clubbers from Lexus know each region will order what they feel will sell best in their territory. Here in the East we are not seeing the Mark Levinson in the initial build. Sometimes it is a supply issue that steers the production a certain direction too. The Gen 5 Navigation is what everyone has been waiting for with the voice commandable address entry and voice command bluetooth phone numbers. Yes! And it speaks Spanish for the first time....The main thing is that it comes with a true Lexus interior and has stability control standard with the IS350 getting VDIM which has been improved to allow a little slip in the back end for you enthusiasts. This car is a comer. Wait 'till you drive it. The IS250 performs well too. We are special ordering Mark Levinson for our own private consumption here at the store.

Although the 18" wheels can be ordered separately, the performance suspension seems to only come as part of that "performance luxury" package.
Or am I missing something?
