Can you order GS300 AWD w/o Nav?
Although you can "build your own" GS300 AWD online without also selecting any of the Nav packages, I heard today that they won't actually be building any of these. Something about the way they pre-build the cars, as we've seen from Lexus in the past where you could rarely pick and choose specific options.
I currently have an '05 RX330 with Nav, and in my opinion, it was a waste of $$. I'm a programmer, have studied the manual extensively, but the Nav has yet to give me realistic or convenient routing instructions when I plug in destinations. It always gives me wacky back-road routes, even when choosing "use freeways" etc. [Maybe it's becuz I live in North Carolina and my state is the last to be included on any national routing coding...I just don't know.] Anyway, I've decided I don't want Nav on the new GS300.
So, does anyone know whether you can get the AWD without Nav?

GS AWD w/o nav
Yes,
Here in canada it is available in AWD without nav and ML stereo in Base and Touring option package.
check out lexus.ca website
I suspect this may only be available to Canadian customers, but it is worth asking about.

In the Eastern you can get it without Nav/Lev
Win/Salem you are on the Northern border of the Southern region and I'm sure a local dealer can get you an AWD without Nav/Lev which is a $4,000 option. We have them that way in the Eastern region. If they say that they can't find one in NC then call Richmond, Virginia and they'll have it available.

GS300/430 availability of Mark Levinson stand alone
In the GS300/GS430 if you get the Mark Levinson you must get the Navigation too. You can however get the Navigation without the Mark Levinson by special order.
