I'd get the AWD just so I'd be able to tune it to a 3.5 ECU

Not like the black line is new, it was an option that was available at any time with 2019 and I assume past years at least in Canada and I see zero on the road.

As far as I know it wasn't available in Canada until 2019...hence why you see none on the road.
Also in the states I believe it was only offered on the 3IS250...which only had a 2 year life span. I'm not sure if they offered it from 2016 to 2018.

Sharp looking car. But it would be cool to see Lexus offer some editions that have more power. For example, since its introduction the 5.0-liter has gained like five hp? I know it's not a make or break thing for anyone, but it would be nice to see power is actually on the radar somewhere.

I thought the Black Line was new for the 2019 model year in the states, but only on the 300 and 300 AWD.

There was the Crafted Line before that, which in many ways was a similar package - two-tone red and black interior and monochromatic exterior.

You are correct @arentz07 ...in my head I was lumping Craft Line and Black Line together...since they are so similar, like you said.
We didn't get the Craft Line in Canada at all.

It sold so well it's not even an option for 2020 in Canada, they should have offered more hp and the birds eye parking cam as option to justify a higher package.

Birds-eye parking is a killer option. It's super useful for large SUVs, but I always appreciate it, regardless of what I'm driving.

I'd love it to help avoid damaging the front bumper on parking spots that have curbs or those mini concrete strips.
