Default is500 LE + Dealer Allotment

243 dealers
450 LE's

1.85 per dealer.

The major cities will most likely get the majority of allotments so most dealerships will get 1 Very lucky to get 2. Does this sound about right?

^^ There is not a set formula used but I think your statement is fair, dealers that are much larger and move more vehicles should, all things being equal, get a few extra units allocated to them. For example, in Canada, all dealers should get at least one but some in larger markets may get 2 or 3.

Edit: replaced "will" by "should" just because I can't verify my statement

We have two dealers here in Ottawa and the one I deal with told me they are expecting to receive one LE. Don't know about the other as neither one puts their new stock on line so you can look.

Yup, there is 1 dealership here that has gotten 2 LE's. It's the 2nd large dealership in Ontario based on volume, so makes sense .

The 243 number does not include ALL North American dealerships + US Territories

243 is just USA

Some dealerships may see 0 allocation for the LE

500 is for the Lexus North American regions

I took delivery of the 1st IS500 Launch Edition in Michigan yesterday. Super excited mine is 126/500. I traded my 2021 WRX STI for it.
