Default 2022 IS 500 Production Done

From my inside source thru Lexus, the 2022 MY is done. They will be ramping up production again in June to release a 2023 MY in the fall. There may be a car or two landing in the US, but as far as allocation, there are none and none in the queue to be built.

So how many 2022s did they make? 900 maybe? That’s gotta be one of their all time lows for a first MY.

I'd be curious to know the number made, they'll be pretty rare!

Do our VINs include ALL the IS cars? Or would that be a good estimate of the number made?

I think all 2022 Lexus production is done. Drove by Arrowhead Lexus yesterday and they have 1, only one, new Lexus in stock. What the hell is going on?

I’m not sure they even produced all 500. In hindsight they probably should’ve made 80-100 Launch Editions like they do with the Mt Fuji RC Fs. Doesn’t feel that sclusive now huh? Jk this car is ultra rare. I heard not even the pope could get one.

Not a surprise with the way things are. In all my searches I never saw a Cloudburst/White build. Guess they didn't make one?

I still see about 13 for sale in Puerto Rico.

Would also really like to know how many MY 2022 they produced. Is there any way to get this info?

I almost bought a cloudburst with white interior in southern cal... But the salesman wouldn't go under 3.5k markup.

I mean, that could be, but my local dealer, Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett, has 208 vehicles. Not sure how many of them are actually sitting at the dealership, but all of them are 2022 MY. Actually, they have 17 IS 350s in transit as well. But, perhaps this is the end of the line for 2022.

My local dealer's site shows a lot of cars incoming, but most are already listed as "purchase in progress". The rest are SUVs which will likely sell in a matter of seconds,

I've seen two online. Found one listed used on Autottader.com, but it doesn't seem to be listed anymore. I stumbled upon an Instagram user who had recently purchased one new.

Edit: Scratch the 2nd one. That was white on white.
