ISx50 Canadian Orders Will Be Late. Cargo Ship Sinking!
Links taken from h66nB on my.is forum. Anyone in Canada waiting for a new Lexus will definitely have to wait longer. Sorry for the bad news.

Links fixed.
Well if it's similar to the 2005 May 4th record breaking shipment it was carrying Mazda, Toyota's, Mitsubishi and Lexus automobiles. With all the new Lexus models out I would bet more Lexus's.
Wonder if the company has the same process as us, calls the 1-800 Geico.
Captain: "I would like to declare an accident."
Agent: "How many cars where involved sir?"
Captain: "5000 new cars. They are now all in the bottom of the ocean."
Agent: "...Please give me a minute while I calculate the claim amount..."

It looks as though their desire to carry the most cars ever may have bit them in the butt.
The article says weather was responsible but I would imagine all the extra cars might make
it top heavy.

There's nothing in those 2 links that indicate any Lexus are in this particular ship, it could have, but I hope not . . . luckily I'm not waiting for a new Lexus . . .

Funny joke
My salesman phoned me yesterday (the day my 350 is supposed to arrive) and told me "Have you heard about the boat sinking!". I knew he was messin' with me. Then he said mine had arrived and was geting the clear bra put on and I could come get it on Friday.
I guess he wasn't joking!
Sure glad mine was not on that boat. It has been a long wait.
I ordered mine May 11 and am getting it on Friday 27 July : I guess that is not that long, but it sure seems long.
Can't wait until Friday!!!!!!!!!
