Lexus Plus is actually a one price program that's being piloted. JM is an early adopter.

^^ I will have to look that up - I don't think the program exists in Canada - It was just a funny/goofy play on words.

Thanks for clarifying what the "plus" stood for

So to continue on with the Launch Edition registry discussion, it's interesting to see the gaps. It would have been really cool for the sequential serial numbers match the vin# sequentially. Also, the Canada-spec cars are coming with headlamp washers and no moonroof.

Some are in blocks it seems to sequential ie: 108-120 are almost sequential. But some are way out there.

Funny enough I think mine is going to be in the mid 400's, I am going to guess #450-467

Yeah and technically speaking, it's not 500 LE, it's 450 US LE and 50 Canadian LE as like you said, they are different (which still doesn't compute in my head).

500 total for all of North America as the IS 500 F SPORT Performance is only available in USA and Canada. The Canadian-spec LE's still show XXX/500 on the Launch Edition Badge. Not sure why they decided to go with moonroof delete. That was a decision made from their product planning team.

Yeah, I know about the badges and all that stuff, but in my head, a limited edition should all be the exact same thing regardless. So technically speaking according to this, Canadians LE will be x of 50, even though the badge will still say x of 500. There will only be 50 2022 LE's without moonroof on earth.

It's just like the LFA Nurburgring Package. 50 were made, the North American-spec ones did not come with the custom Recaro seats the other markets got. The Launch Edition is an awesome build, moonroof or not.

This post was meant as a reply to a post above listing $93k as the sales price in California (forgot to quote). That's so dumb -- Only in California I guess. Bought mine for $68k
