That would be a different strategy than that used by Lexus Canada - I would almost think that Lexus USA will follow in the same direction - The IS500 F Sport Performance is a derivative of the IS300/350 and it's been made very clear by the folks at Lexus in the various promo videos that this is not an IS F, so I doubt they would drop it in that category on the configurator....That being said, I could be totally wrong

Very few things in life have tested my patience as much as this car...

Yeah, the same man. I legitimately search used GS F every day at this point. They might as well make it a 2023 if we won't get them till March, April, May. I truly wish Lexus Corporate would pull its head out of its rear end and at least communicate something with dealers. Even if it is a delay or saying we are going to prioritize NX before IS. Having no builder in North America at this point while Canada is going on two weeks with it also blows my mind. I know there are not many options for the car but at least be able to build the darn thing would be great

I have legitimately driven everything in the range of this car besides the TLX Type S and a Tesla Model 3 performance. Most have left me wanting more outside of the M340 and GS F. I truly like the IS and with a v8 it is about perfect for me, its like a mini gsf

Well, I hear ya guys!! I have been blown a setback too but I am trying to stay positive. I just hope Lexus Canada will open up the order book for the IS Performance soon as well. I find it almost unfathomable that a dealer won't be allocated at least 1 IS500 for the 2022 MY.

TipsyTonio - I think I'll have a better chance of seeing your GF's legs than an IS500 in my driveway I think (LMAO)

Well I've driven the Type S so its maximum potential, and I'm 99% convinced that if I weren't such a Lexus/Toyota fanboy at heart I would've been bought one already... So @LexusCorporate if you are listening to anything we say. Get your crap together! You aren't the only people that make Luxury cars
