Mashkoor.


I wish. Front plates are mandatory. However, many choose the euro style plates which are wide. I personally think they look better, especially due to the Saudi plate's design.

Hey Kuwaiti how's it going, what's the update on your LS, it's mid january! Any word on when it will be delivered?

I don’t know about kuwaiti but the first batch will arrive in Kuwait in the first week of February and I will be getting my LS460 then . cant wait i paid my deposit back in August

Offical launch is 3rd Feb. in Kuwait and the GCC. They have 20 cars already and they have 150 cars coming next week here in Kuwait.

I note the OP posted this thread a while back and said he was in Kuwait... but his location (at least now) says Arizona.

Just wondering what prompted the move to the states and if he has a new LS, now?

Offical launch in bahrain is 5 feb 2007 . they have 30 cars now .

I've been following this thread for a while now, trying to find out when it's going to be the launch in the Gulf. It's rather surprising to me that we get the car last in our region even though we are probably the biggest consumers by size.

Hi, BoJaber, I am also from Bahrain and I was told by the dealer that the opening was going to be on the 7th of February. And also they told me that my 460 should be here in early March. I'm one of the people who has paid a thousand BD deposit.

I hope it's worth the wait for this car, because I've been waiting for five months for this car.

BTW, kick a$$ site. Keep the good work coming.

Peace

bojaber

thank u Hot Rodder i am sorry if its wrong date.
i well buy one next few months.
my friend saw more than 30 in mina salaman (port) before 2 weeks.

Q8Lexus

Any idea on the price in Bahrain and the other Gulf countries? The Kuwait dealer told me that they will price the car in line with the other GCC and i just want to confrim that.

Might be getting my new LS460 this week!!!!

Hi BoJaber, thanks for the PM bro. I'm pretty sure your friend did see a couple of LS's in the port and from what I heard, they are located in the training center in Sitra right now. They are the ones that are going to be used for the launch. Which obviously none of us know exactly when that's going to happen. Definitely neither of us do, you or me. And it looks like all the Kuwaitis think they are going to get their cars in the next 10 days. At least the Saudis got a picture of a few of them being brought in. This is probably making the U.S. customers look at us and say, "ha, ha, the middle east don't have cars".

Hey Q8Lexus, how come all the Kuwaitis know that they are going to get their lexus this week? Yet none of you know when the launch is going to happen. I do hope what your dealer told about the prices being comparable is right. That would sure be on the Bahraini customers side, since our prices are usually higher than in Kuwait. Oh and no I do not know the prices of how much they are going to cost in Bahrain, I only know that I paid 1000 BD deposit and my receipt says price will be determined after arrival of the vehicle. But I'm pretty sure prices will be fixed after the launch.

Abo Saleh, Find out for us if they have actually put them in the showroom in Riyadh. And if they did, they would probably be priced by then. But just because they were on the way to the showroom, like you said, which I doubt, that don't mean they are going to wind up on the showroom floor. I mean, keep in mind, that the salesmen have to have time to train on these new vehicles because they've never seen one before. That's usually what happens here in Bahrain.

Peace,

HR

Hi Hot Rodder, not all Kuwaitis only the ones that paid the deposit which in our case was K.D. 2000 or approx. $6900. The offical launch will be on the 3rd Feb. as i said in an earlier post. We should know the prices latter on today.

Good luck to all of you and mabrook in advance

Abo Saleh thanks for the pics

Hot Rodder

Which is prettty much like Bahrain where everybody who has paid a deposit is promised one. But I do find it hard to believe that for the next 3 months, no car is going to be available in the showroom for anybody who wants to go and look at it and consider purchasing one. I mean, it's Toyota for god's sake, oh, I mean it's Lexus. But who knows.

Hey Q8Lexus, bro, let us know what the prices are going to be in Kuwait as soon as you find out, please.
