Oh I have no doubt it will sell, and quite soon, or at least as soon as the weather opens up.

If they put that dealer badge on my car I wouldve lit the place on fire!

I think the two reviewers speak truth about the vehicle and how it stacks up to the segment it's in.
Based on everything they say you'd swear they would tell you not to buy the vehicle, but they actually say the exact opposite lol! What?!?! Canadians, what are you gonna do with them?!
I love the Throttle House guys, I recommend their LFA video, it was just 25 minutes of fanboy gushing and I'm totally okay with that.

After waiting nearly a year at Park Place with no ETA on a car in sight and them adding $2-3K in extras to every IS 500, Sewell got me a car in 2 weeks and didn't mandate any extras. The window tint and protective products were my choice. Sewell went the extra mile, so I don't mind their dealer badge on the back. If it ever bothers me, I'll heat it up with a blow dryer and take it off.

C'mon now, really, light the dealership on fire? I guess I understand why they don't let you have guns in NJ (just joking with you).

Very nice, infrared looks good. Do you have any pics/video of the white interior?

Thank you. It's hard to find real world pictures with real lighting versus the stock lexus photos. I am on the fence with black or white based on looks alone (a quicker allocation also is persuading me lol).

^^ I find the white interior really makes the cabin feel more refined/upscale and gives it a sense of brightness/open'ness but I am biased. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with an all black interior but the contrast (2 tone) between the white and black is just amazingly well done and 99% of people who have seen my car were in awe over the interior. I think if you see one in the flesh and sit in one, you'll understand.

I agree and I'm warming up to it. I already cleared the initial hurdle after confirming semi-regular cleaning will keep the white from staining/discoloring. It's a shame they didn't take the same approach with the red interior, and went way too overboard on the red bits, imo.

^^ I have said the exact same thing numerous time - I have to be honest the red has also grown on me, I had 2 red interiors before so I do like red but I felt they had gone too much but after watching numerous videos and pics, my perspective has changed. I had attempted to order my 500 with white on white (as per my 350) but it was rejected and the best my dealer could find was a white on red which should arrive in a couple of weeks....however, starting to having second thoughts

White on red is always a good combo, so you might like it once you see it in person. It would be tolerable if at least the bottom half of the dash was left black, then I could overlook the entire door panel being red.

I was never a fan of the Red Interior, then when I picked up my 2014 IS350 F-Sport, and I promptly ate my words... Ultra White Ext w/ Rioja Red Interior... Absolutely Gorgeous...

Now with THAT said, I have no clue when they changed the "amount" of Red in the interior. My 2014 has Black Door w/ Red Accents and Glove compartment is Black etc, the "newer" Red Interiors border on that "too much" red as there is less black to office and that originally turned me off to Red in the 1st place... but to each their own

My LE sat in the Dealership showroom for 1 Day and this Video was made by some "Youtube Kid" (per my Dealer) who was trying to throw* $$$ at them to drive it home...

Glad to say I already had my name down since Feb, so it was mine but got this Video out of it

$10k Pay to Play in So Cal and not have to run around, if I didn't pay it, someone else would in OC and that's a fact. So I consider it Paying it Forward to the Sales Rep who got me 1st and Line and took good care of me for almost a year... I know the dealerships are hurting with low inventory, low sales so if that gave him a nice Christmas, I'm blessed to have been in a position to play Santa Claus
