btw, you can order bespoke most of the individual items within the performance package separately for 2023, but the only one I really want is the 4 wheel steering which they somehow made unavailable separately, I also got the 21” forged wheels too which is available.

Where do you see this?
Nothing on Lexus website notes that Bespoke includes Handling package.
It only gives options to get Carbon roof and spoiler types.

At least in Canada, I have seen it on my sales lady’s screen available to the dealers only, they still don’t have the “official” prices for those for 2023 model, but will soon, and they will inform me, I only want the Torsen limited slip differential and rear dampers, not the rest of the Performance package, and they indicated the 4 wheel steering will not be available separately, only with the entire Performance package.

The Lexus Canada website still has the 2022 model on their build configurator as of now. But if you actually order now, the dealers can show you the order details available for the 2023 model, but even they do not have the actual individual prices yet, the total price they gave me is just an estimate.

Despite the "bespoke" language on the Lexus site(s), I still have not found a dealer that will take a bespoke order of any kind. Not sure why, if Gojirra99 in Canada can?

In other news, in looking at a whole bunch of dealerships (~25?), and setting up some bookmarks to easily look at inventory - I see a fair number of verts out there that are not listed as "sale pending" and not many coupes at all (none in my chosen colors). These aren't always vehicles listed on cars.com, autotrader, or cargurus. So, if anyone is in the market for a new vert, they seem to be out there if you're willing to travel or ship.

JoinYAA has a way to search new car inventory and it tells you how long it's been in inventory. It's not always accurate, but it's super slick to use and I think it has alerts.

Love the interface. Only issue is that it lists ZERO new LCs available nationwide! So, not much help there. I even went at it without specifying the model. Used the price filter. Other models show up, just not the LC. So I'm not sure if every single LC listed in dealer new inventory is actually sold and somehow YAA knows that and the other sites don't? Or, they don't have access to that inventory information. In my random dealer search there must have been at least 25 new LCs listed as available on their sites, maybe more. They're being marketed by the dealers as available (where they don't say "sale pending"). Hard to believe none are actually available - but maybe so?

I did put in a call to YAA to see if they can shed light. Used ones come up, but not many more than I've seen on the other sites. Plus they charge $60 for 3 months access. I'll let you know what they say, if they call me back.

Spoke to a YAA guy. They scrape sites like everyone else. He was perplexed, I pointed out one site that had 6 verts. He was going to escalate to his scraping vendor. FWIW.
