Default Dealers state that Drivers Support Pkg is a special order

I just wanted to run a quick poll to see how many of you that asked about the Drivers Support Package and the dealers told you it was a special order.

Default It is in the SE Region.

Exactly what four dealers told me in the SE region. So I special ordered it and waited three and a half months. I have it and love it.

I am jealous. I believe a feature like this is what helps to set it apart as a luxury vehicle.

30 years ago a luxury vehicle was about mechanical, looks, paint, seats. These days technology is a big factor imo.

Our largest dealer in SoCal - Longo Lexus-had a salesperson who said it was special order (takes 3 months) and it was "50/50" whether the order would be accepted by Lexus. The supposed reasoning was that the factory in Japan would have to "stop the [production] line" to make this custom car.

then he proceeded to try to get me to lease an LX so I can have a new car today!

It took over 4 months to get mine. I ordered it on 12/13 and just got it on Monday. The GX arrived in port on 6/5/14.

see my signature, been waiting now for 2+ months. If you want it, lexus will make it. I do think they have to stop assembly line for it. I think they probably wait for a bunch of orders to be made at once with driver support. Would fit with their JIT manufacturing process. Also, they are behind on supply as demand is up for the gx, so they are catching up. This should be a standard feature on gx and may be in future. Heck, ive seen many other cars nowadays with this as pretty much a standard feature, so it will be a standard feature on all cars in near future. The gxs w/o this feature may be a tough sell when they get resold.
