I placed my order a month ago...and today the dealer calls me and says they "called in and made sure everything is ok...." and that there is "NO way you can order the Mark Lev audio for the 07." He said he doesnt know why. I told him thats impossible....the brochures even show Mark Lev.

I had placed an order for the '07 IS350 Obsidian blk/blk int. Luxury package w/ Mark Lev audio and the rims from the X-package.

Anyone spoke to their dealer?

I find that hard to believe that there is no ML for the 07 IS.

I'm only guessing that you can't 'order' it, only choose ML-equipped vehicles that are already made? That would be a bummer if you are set on that particular combination.

Multiple dealers and even Lexus directly have lied to me. Perhaps the brand isn't as good as people hype them to be.

After looking closer at the 07 brochure it appears they are not offering an
option for ML without Nav.

Is the front center channel speaker grill still there? It is only utilized with ML, right?

The 07 brochure does not include Nav in the luxury package.
Nav and Nav+ML are seperate options from any other packages.
But ML is not offered anywhere without Nav.

Call me late but I just realized the X-Package colors mirror the original L-Tuned packaged cars that first came out here in the Western Region. The real L-Tuned port of Long Beach built IS300's were Graphite Gray Metallic, Millenium Silver Metallic and Black Onyx.

Theres only a small handful of you guys around. Less than 1% in reality. As much as we know what is right and we try our best to educate, it's always the marketing scheme that throws people off and has people believe in something which is totally a facade.
