Put down a 600h deposit
Well, I put down a deposit on a 600h yesterday. I'm not sure that I'll actually take delivery given the number of unknowns (specific availability date, haven't test driven the new LS yet let alone even sat in one, trunk space question, etc), but I'm 10th in line at a dealership here in Atlanta. The deposit is fully refundable so there's no real risk and I know that if I wait, the line will only get longer if I decide later that it definitely is right for me. I'll certainly be watching the forums here for more info as it comes out and will look to take a test drive of the 460 as soon as I can.

He said that with the GS450, only about 60% of the people waiting wound up taking delivery, so the same could happen with the 600. Heck, I could very well be one who passes after we find out more details. Beyond that, if it looks like I'd have ot wait much beyond June or if the model is delayed in general beyond that, I'd pass anyways as I'll be giving up my current vehicle at that point.

If I am going for the LS600hL (which I probably will not), I will definitely go with the LS hybrid exclusive color, the Black Opal a dark bluish purple, looks very good in the pics

The salesguy said that, typically, a significant % of people waiting don't actually take delivery for whatever reason. Also, you may have people ahead of you pass on a particular car due to its color. That vehicle can of course then be offered to the next person in line. So, being 10th in line probably doesn't mean that I'd have to wait for their 10th vehicle.

I saw the Black Opal in person on a 600h at the Atlanta Auto Show. It does indeed look pretty good. I'll probably wait on a color choice until I see the 460s in various colors later in the year.
