macmaster - I recall someone had posted such a statement a while ago but keep in mind that your 500 count doesn't account for the Canadian dealer. Someone also posted that they would roll out the LE first and that is not entirely true but it seems they are prioritizing these. Now I understand your frustration and old stuff but to be honest, a lot of what what we have been posting so far has been a lot of speculation and such as none of us has had any official news as none of us work for Lexus.

We are all trying to keep the tread active while have a bit of fun and interacting with each other. I am sorry you feel that we are wasting useful gigabytes of internet space but I feel moderators would have locked the tread if we were truly going in a direction of uselessness...but I digress.

From Canada, I have a allocation for a non LE (Grecian water / white interior, so I guess I'm a stooge), My dearlership told me only 120 units for MY 2022 in Canada (2 per dealership). Which kinda makes sense with the fact that 50 LE are said to be allocated for the canadian market

^^ that 2 per dealership for Canada does fit with everything else we've been said by different dealers, hopefully they can play with that a bit, I'm 3rd..

Edit: Hoping it's 2 non-LE and one LE for some dealers.. and not 120 total for 2022.

^^ yeah, not sure how many we will get in Canada but given they are just ramping production, I am sure things will gradually change as things evolve. I have been 1st on the list since Feb 2021 and I would find it hard to believe my dealer would not get at least one non-LE for the 2022 MY hence why I am hopeful...

I know this thread is about 1000 pages of nothingness but I’m getting really fed up with the recycled news!!!
Even dealers are in the dark. One near me JUST sent me the brochure we all saw back in July, claiming it's the "latest info". Until a dealership ACTUALLY gets a car, I doubt we are going to get anything substantial as far as update.

I just want to find a dealer that won't add on a premium.

Right on, at this point I watch the reviews to listen to the engine and that’s it. I already know more about the car than them and I’ve never seen it in person, let alone drive one! If the IS500 is like my ‘06 & ‘16 IS350s, I’m gonna love the Jekyll/Hyde characteristic.
