LOL they dropped GW? I wonder if that was our fault!! Betcha that trans cooler is now black too.

im really hoping they reprogrammed the transmission too, since most reviewers said it was slow.

^^ they may have just removed his specific order and allocated the USB instead. My white was cancelled a few weeks ago but we know they make white ones. I think they try and make batches of certain colors and options...the GW will be built I am sure. The OP would just have to wait a bit longer.

If the trans cooler are black, you guys all owe me one lmao

If the GW is dropped, we are going to have to keep an eye out on Carolina and make sure he stays well lol

The original post made it sound like they dropped it altogether. 2 blues is kind of redundant. Website still shows GW though.

I guess we will find out eventually but with a press car in GB being promoted, I find that hard to believe..

I don't. While it was a press car, it was more technically a pre-production car which opens the possibility for things to change on production models - including the color.

It's real possibility that they decided to built in batches and make it available later, but I would be mad if they do that....

There's a ton to unpack here guys. 54 = base, 55 = LE, 56 = premium

Google map directions Cool Springs Lexus and your dealership to get the miles distance to guess which dealership its going to.

Can someone interpret what the add on codes mean:

PC 2T 3M DF G4 Z2 Z1 G5...

I can only guess what 3M means.

@wthrman2 I paid close attention but I didn’t see any that matched your spec sorry buddy

What I don't understand are accessories like the all weather mats. Can I just decline that and subtract it from the price? I get that 3M film can't be removed, but come on, I dont want all weather mats.

WoW guys awesome I take a night off, and all hell breaks loose!!

@macmaster

If it’s on the Window Sticker as Port Installed Option, it’s sold with the car…

If it’s an addendum “dealer add on” - then you can argue for removal…

Also depending on Paint Codes, here is your pricing

Premium Paint (3T5, 8X1) (Infrared Metalic & USB 2.0) + $565

Premium Paint (083, 1L1, 1L2) (Ultra White, Cloudburst Gray, Iridum) + $500

I would check with your dealership again to be sure before you sign in case...

Just got the call of a lifetime. My dealership has 2 coming, a LE and a premium white w/ red interior. Unfortunately all incoming models to that dealership are going to come with the $1800 ceramic coat. I don't know if this is negotiable, I forgot to ask.

These aren't my top choices though. I want USB so while I'm #1 in line to visit the car, they may not let me drive it to test it out. He said he'd have to get approval to find out if I can drive it for a mile or so around the block.

Edit: Dealer says the ceramic and security system I cannot opt out of

I would be pretty upset about being stuck with add-ons that are forced upon the car

The more I think about it, the more I am upset. It's not like a $200 add-on. $1800 is a lot of money for something 1) I might not want 2) If I did I could get for a lot cheaper elsewhere. Would I even get to see them add the coating? What if they don't even add it, I would never know.

Well if they aren't going to add market adjustments, they are going to get a couple extra bucks another way
