macmaster - I hear what you are saying. I am in the same boat, I just need some sort of confirmation that I will be getting one, that's all. Once I have that reassurance, I'll be able to have an ex lax and relax....

Just got a text from my dealership "Allocations are in the process. Nothing is visible as of yesterday."

yeah I think it's 266 but it's a premium, not an LE

Oh.... nvm then. Yeah I think there is no specific sequence, which is super dumb in my opinion.

I may have to stop coming here for a little while, seeing all you guys getting confirmation of your cars and VINs is driving me wild!! Time to slap on my white speedo and hang out at the beach for a while...Oh wait, we can't do that because it's too cold - Sigh!! At least I can watch TV and drink wine. Talk to you guys next spring....

Next time we see you, you'll be: tipsywthrman2



I think it's encouraging that we are seeing so many order confirmations, etc. Maybe the silliness in the car market is turning around.

So.... I think I may have some bad news about our man on the inside: If you guys check the YouTube channel for Jake from Lexus of Cool Springs, you'll see that he removed most of his recent videos where he dives very deep into Dealer Daily. It could be a sign that Toyota has reached out to him and asked him to remove it
Ask Jake - YouTube

Dang! Was hoping that he would deliver more information any minute now!
And at least he gave more information and probably saved Lexus some customers. They should actually be thanking him!

Talked to my dealer, only thing they have been allocated so far has been the LE's. I want a premium so I will be waiting for that.
