Picked up my IS350 w/ Sports Package and ML from Lexus of Pleasanton in Pleasanton, CA last Thursday the 19th. Its Black on Black. I posted picks on the IS350 Registry thread. 
I was really lucky, a customer had placed a special order for it but could not come up with the financing and the sales man remembered me inquiring about a Sports Package w/ ML and all Black back in October so he called me and I said I would be there to purchase. I am hella happy to have gotten it a couple of days after my birthday. 
I cancelled my special order with Stevens Creek Lexus in San Jose for a fully loaded Luxury Package IS350 with ground effects and ML black on black. My refund with Steven's Creek Lexus of $500 was fully refundable. And they refunded my credit card last Friday. The car is sitting in my garage waiting to get its clear bra on before I work on the break-in process.

Decided on the IS350 on a Sat night.
On sunday I called all the dealers in the bay area. There was a single sport, with ML and no NAV. No thanks. Called SAC and found the Exact car I wanted. So yeah, I got lucky.

We got ours today:
350/SGM/Sterling/Sport/Nav
Ordered it in November.
The ride is a little firmer than the base model we drove, but about the same as the A4 w/sport suspension that we traded. It's sweeeet!

while I agree that availability is low overall. There are certainly more lux's then sports sitting on the lot.
When I called around for mine, all 6 or so of the dealers I talked to had lux's.

I ordered Lux. Unfortunately, I would never have been able to test drive a 350 without driving 3-4 hrs. to a dealer. The GM of my local dealer has a 250 which he let me try. He dissuaded me from the sport package saying the regular 350 was "tight enough" and the sport would be too tight. He was afraid I wouldn't like it. I do mostly "straight line" driving, though, so I don't think it will really matter for me. My passengers will probably be more impressed with the smoother ride.

I got mine from Scottsdale Lexus, March 8,2006. IS350, Sport Package, Nav/ML. It wasn't even a special order. The salesman there was awesome and showed me his allocation list and what was coming in. Very straight up and honest. It was the best buying experience I've had.
Anyway, if you're looking for the nice sporty suspension then this is the way to go. The IS feels like it's on "rails"!! I got to test drive both and I'm happy that I got the sports package.
