Hard to say! Its the only verified Vehicle Carrier showing a reasonable ETA but some Vessels don't report in advance and wont show until the are closer ....but I think 4 is for Toyota only so if it docks there (as opposed to 6) it is likely the vessel....but there is another about 150 miles out that looks like it came straight from Japan that could also be the big prize....

The current forecast of supply & demand will not remain as such..
It’s certainly not the new normal.
History has a way of repeating itself
Read my posts in this thread as well for more tips & tricks..
Getting a Lexus for MSRP is way easier than many think.

Looking at the Tarhara plant, it seems most of the ships are Something name Highway. Maybe keep an eye out for one names that?

Can we have some inside scoop on the assembly plant instead?!?! (lol) I want to know if they'll build non-LE version for the Canadian market....All kidding aside, I am losing hope that I'll get one, and despite being on a waiting list since Feb 2021

(But to be honest, if I can't get a 500 soon, I might try getting a fully loaded 350 instead)

^^ I agree that we are a small drop but at the same time, they have just launched the F Sport Performance brand and you would think they would try and get as many out to build the momentum and excitement. They are talking about expanding the F Sport Performance to other models and rumors about developing the F cars. They need to realize that enthusiast is what carries these higher performance variants so they should really boost the production ASAP. The other option is to just focus on vanilla ice cream and not tease us like this (LMAO).
The IS350 is a great car and while it's not as powerful, it is still a great car. I agree that waiting until 2023 is an option, but I would find it hard to imagine that the 1st in line for a non LE has to wait 2 years to get the car, it's not like I am #25. Again, maybe I am just overreacting and I will get a call soon but to be honest, I would rather get a call tomorrow saying there is no way to get one till 2023 than being in limbo. I am not asking to get a serial number and arrival date, I just want someone to say that being able to get 1 is going to happen but not exactly sure the exact date
Given the uncertainty, I am starting to look at other options just in case..

^^ I really hope you are right, and if you are, I am sending you a 20$ gift card to Tim Hortons (lol)
BTW - Lexus USA I would have no doubt because the car originated in their HQ, but in Canada, we always struggle with limitations/restrictions

Answer - Maybe we could get Lexus Canada to build us one for the two of us since we both love white....You have it Mon, Wed, Fri and Sun while I drive it Tue. Thu and Sat and then we rotate the week?!? Thoughts? LOL
