Default NM EDITION #7 has arrived in Rockville, MD. Where's mine in Northern California??

Check this out everyone. Here's a post from the Edmunds.com forum with a link to a picture of car #7. My dealer in Oakland says 2 - 4 weeks until I get mine. Do I just wait or have my dealer start calling around in order to get my car now? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

don't call the dealership. call around and get some mods for that bad boy before it even arrives in your garage!

My dealer informed me a week ago that it arrived in the Long Beach port. How long does it take to ship a car from L.A. to S.F? I was under the impression that they were holding them for a same day release. That's definitely not the case. Oh well....I've waited 6 months. I can wait a little longer.

i think the NM GS450h has only one color, which is that crystal blue ice. Pretty nice color!

it takes a while for cars to come out of the port and it can take more than a week.

Crystalline Ice. It's a bluish silverish color that supposedly changes color under different lighting conditions.

They had a NM 450h at the MN auto show. The color looks really good in person but to be honest I was busy at the LS460 and the ES350

"to each his own". The LS and the new ES are nice, I agree... But it's all about the 450h's for now!!!

Default Crystalline Blue Ice has just a drop or two of...

Lavender in it. It looks custom. It's a purple predator that looks for German V8's to devour...
