You're correct, it's worth nothing. My dealer's Sales Mgr. told me today that they have no idea about pricing and probably won't know till Fall. So, that comment you referenced was probably a guess, at best.

Like I had mentioned previously, pricing will not come out until we get close to production. My guess is August/September.

Well, I have decided not to purchase the IS 500 Launch Edition. I was able to see one in person at the Lexus Experience in Scottsdale the day it opened a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, I was left underwhelmed. The Incognito color was not as "special" as I expected. I have seen similar executions on any number of vehicles driving around town. Lexus missed a real opportunity to make a 500 unit limited edition vehicle appear truly limited. The yellow LC 500 convertible sitting across from the IS 500, now that looked special. And, sitting in the car did not leave me feeling there was enough of an upgrade from my current IS 200t to warrant the premium price for an engine upgrade and an improved interior. So I have instead turned my attention to a Mercedes E Class or Lexus LC 500 convertible.

No, the vehicles were not available to be driven. I am sure the driving experience is great, but visually, it did not scream "limited" to me. Having seen the vehicle in person now, if I wanted to obtain an IS500 I would choose the "premium" option in Ultrasonic Blue Mica or Infrared and save the $7K premium required for the LE.

I dig the Launch Edition for it's exclusivity. I'm very happy Lexus listened to us and made more of the special Launch Edition.
