No. It was Hendrick Lexus Kansas City in Merriam, KS. The car was actually originally delivered to Spirit Lexus, according to the window sticker. Not sure how it ended up on the other side of the state.

Default 12/20/22 official owner

Just got my CBG with Red Alcantara dynamic package form Len Stoter Lexus of Maryland. Drove it from Maryland to my home in South Alabama in one day. Long long day. Hit DC on way home.

The 16 hours in the car was amazing. Very comfortable never felt like I needed to stretch. I have the Sport seats with Alcantara and their incredible!

Great so far! The trip down I-35 from Wichita to Austin was a bit hairy because of all the trucks I had to dodge (just really the dump trucks and the open top construction trucks). I would time my passing to get a clear shot and speed up. One time I passed a dump truck and looked down and I was doing 106mph and it felt like 80! But when there was open road, it was fun. Just got it back from the tint guys and kinda crappy weather but planning a few nice long drives! Want to take some nice sunny pics in the Texas hill country but it's going to rain next 4 days. I'm thrilled so far.

Long time lurker, now finally owner. Picked her up today.
It was a painful wait. Ordered 1.5 yrs ago (late 2021 deposit for MY 2022), saw my order slipped from MY22 to MY23. Got the call Fall 2022 that it finally went into production and by Mid December it was going to be loaded onto the ship on the way stateside. Finally delivered to the dealership at the end of January 2023, and ready for collection today.




Flare Yellow, Toast Caramel interior, HUD, Mark Levinson, Dynamic Handling Package...pretty sure I checked all the FIOs.

The only thing I have noticed was that the speed activated rear wing was not turned on by default, so I was pushing the button and was wondering why nothing was happening during the drive home. Anything else that needs to be turned on which are not on by default?

XPEL PPF, Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating coming soon. I'll post better pics then. Plus, its gloomy today.

Congrats, Sil, looks beautiful even in the gloom. Owned mine for less than 2 weeks, have not experimented with the wing yet. I’m still discovering all the settings and my preferences.

fabulous.

so... in my limited experience that button is weird. i found you sometimes have to HOLD the button to get it to do anything. the manual says this:

Press and hold the switch until the indicator turns off. If the switch is released while the active rear wing is moving, it will return to the raised position automatically.
clear as mud. but what was happening to me i think is i'd press it, it would go down or up, and then maybe i'd pressed it again because it would go right back to the state it was in before.
