There is an appeal to the DVD player. If you don't do the hack, you can play movies for any occassion that requires you to wait in your car, or to entertain people (especially kids).

This Has Nothing To Do With The Mark Levinson System!!!
None Of The Cars Allocated To The Northeast Region (even If They Have Nav Or Lux Packages Have The Ml System!!!
These Dealers Don't Do Their Homework. That Is Why I Will Have To Special Order My Car. Apparently People Who Get Snowed Upon Don't Listen To Good Audio Systems.
I Said It Before, I'll Say It Again. Lexus Is Making A Big Mistake With This "allocation" Bullsh_t!

Your options are:
1. Take a car without the options you wanted.
2. Reorder and hope Lexus actually builds it in MY07.
3. Give up all hope and buy an Italian exotic of some sort.

How about just calling around to different dealerships and see if someone changed their mind about a car with ML? I've seen posts like this all the time on here how someone just happened to find the car they wanted sitting on the lot because someone backed out of the deal. It's worth a shot.
I'd also agree that don't settle for a car w/o the options that you wanted because you won't enjoy the car as much constantly thinking about what you're missing!

If it were me, I'd call another dealer or two and verify that the ML is still a valid option for new special orders. If they say it is, I'd call and write Lexus Corporate explaining the situation, as well as the lies, you've been told.

When I picked up my car, I really wanted the navi, but was a little put off by the extra expense. I finally decided to bite the bullet and shell out the extra cash to get it. AND I'M GLAD I DID!!!
Don't settle for a model without the items you want. You may end up regretting it.
