Default AWD Luxury Pkg Gone from Penna

Playing around on the new Lexus website, I went to build my 2008 IS 250AWD. The Luxury Pkg is no longer shown as an available package in my area (it is available for the 350 and 250 RWD). Sux for those in the market now--I'm glad I bought last year.

That's odd.

No AWD in Penn?

Seems out of the ordinary. Perhaps there is a different allocation because it's springtime (nearing summer)?

No-sorry. AWD is available, but you can't get it with the Lux Pkg. I've only seen 1 or 2 around here that are not AWD.

Same thing in NJ with the predominance of AWD IS 250s at the dealer and on the road; you'd think this was the snow belt.

In NJ, they seem to be acquiring FULLY loaded IS-350's with VN, LL, and PA. The AWD's come with navigation and the IS-250 comes bare stock with maybe Prem package but NO navigation.

Glad to hear that Mark Levinson is finally available in NJ. For the 2006 and 2007 model years, it was special order only.

Lexus of Englewood leads the charge with IS 350's with Mark Levinson. It is the standard on the lot...

Prestige also has them and so do the rest of the dealers in the area.
