You can hardly find a 2021 IS anywhere, let alone a 2022.

Grand Race looks like it was form Korea in the past so maybe Hyundai's??
SFL Composer is near Terminal 4 but also appears to be from Korea?

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....

Common sense…!?

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

We are a small drop in their ocean, but gotta keep faith! Worst case it'll be 2023 and we get to keep our current cars a lil while longer!
(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..

Again I’m not seeing that you will have any issues getting an IS 500 in the month(s) to come…

^^ 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

I don't they're going to have the LE in Canada for 2022 but not the non-LE for another year or so.
