Aha! So you're the fellow that purchased the 2011! A few of us on here were talking about that one a few weeks ago. Congrats and welcome!

yes, i was lurking the boards obsessively and came across a brief discussion about the lack of options it has. it's a shame that mark levinson is not included but there is a rear back-up cam! i think that was the basis for a poster not wanting to purchase the car. i am in love with the car!

Nice car, congrats I like those rims. It does not appear too much has changed from the 08 to 11's. Any major differences...

Congratulation~!! The car is simply beautiful. Looking at your car, I am already missing my GS. :*( If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the car?

the tape player has been discontinued and the navigation may have slightly been updated. that's all i know of... i should mention that the 2011 model year was custom order only. no idea on how many were produced.

it was a certified pre-owned with one owner all work being performed at the dealer it was purchased new from. lexus wasn't willing to haggle and due to the rarity and great color scheme i had to pull the trigger immediately. it was approximately $41k after taxes ($38,400 dealer asking price)
