Congrats on the recent deliveries! Whoever came up with the roll-call is a genius. I can’t speak for anyone else, but to see actual deliveries keeps me pumped that I’ll get my call one day soon! Additionally, I love seeing folks just as excited about the car as I am.

@AJinDFW - I absolutely love Sewell Lexus! Their old online parts department was the best in the country. I was able to pick up all sorts of accessories for my old ‘06 IS350, including a set of chrome dipped Lexus wheels. You couldn’t get those anywhere else back then, because it took a lot to adhere to environmental regulations. If I lived near, they would be my dealer for sure.

2022 IS 500 Premium.
Infrared
White with Black Geometric Trim
Options:
Premium paint (BS IMO)
All Weather Floor Liner and Trunk Tray
Illuminated Door Sills
Trunk Mat/Cargo Net/Wheel Locks/Rear Bumper Applique

Purchased 1/8/2022 at Sewell Lexus, Dallas Texas at MSRP. Purchased extended warranty, wheel and tire coverage, windshield/ding/key coverage and received a nice discount on the extras. Also got a break on window tint. Sewell seems to be getting a lot of these. I was waiting at another dealer since March 2021 and they gave me no clue as to when I would get mine. My first color choice was Cloudburst/Red (traded a '21 IS 350 F Sport in this color for the 500) and Infrared/White was second choice.

Only 5 days in and about 300 miles, but very happy with purchase. More than fast enough, likely can handle mods reliably and when cruising around, much more comfortable with similar-performing cars. Also have a 2019 GX 460, got my son a 2010 ES 350 and have an LX 600 on order. Not intending to brag, just love the brand.





Tisk tisk, I'm going to have to write you a ticket for parking in a Handicap spot with no decal... jk
The car is gorgeous man! Enjoy it!

It doesn't appear anyone has received a Grecian Water.

^^ Other than the LE, there has been a very limited number of Premiums out there. We were seeing mostly white/USB cars but lately, we have seen a few Atomic Silver and Caviar appear. There are rumors (not confirmed) that GW may not be offered....

Actually last week I was told by my sales guy that GW is currently not in production right now. And he's not sure if or when it will be.
I also think that Canada had heard that news before the US.
But I did see a FB post where a GW was delivered to an auto place in ATL from Lexus Racing USA. And pretty sure it wasn't that press car, because it had a moroney on the rear window.
