Hopefully we'll see some other pictures and other builds popping up.

I agree with you guys - This is not the best looking one for sure. I must admit that the car through the Canadian configurator (in white) tickles all my manly parts so far...No without creating a controversy, the new 2022 BMW M240i looks pretty slick. I like the proportions

So historically Lexus has started their December to Remember sales event in early November. Unfortunately, the new offers just came out and there is no change whatsoever in the offers. All we got was the November to Forget.

I think the years of the discounts are gone - even in the spring, we would always get the F Sport credits in Canada for a few thousand off and they never applied to the sedans or coupes this past spring, only a very few limited products, and I suspect next spring will be even worse.

^^ Pretty much every forecasts have been wrong so far (including when the shortage of chips would end) so I am not hanging my hat on these predictions....says the guy who survives on prediction (lol)

When do you think things will stabilize? Such as plenty of inventory, good incentives. Dealer discounts and such. Hopefully soon...

^^ Personally, I have no clue but we have seen them change their prediction on when things will go back to normal with car production and its changed already 2 or 3 times.

So I reached out to my regional office and they are more clueless than my dealer. They told me they were unable to help me with my request and instead gave me the number to the corporate line. I tried the corporate line and all she could tell me was that we should expect cars by "late fall of 2021". Way to read the press release!

Brace yourselves. I found another shot of the white one previously posted. Note the custom fenders and pointy mirrors. And a... multicolored one... with custom hood, widebody fenders, and what looks like a rear wing somewhat inspired by the RCF track edition.
