No More IS250+RWD+Nav ?
sales told me Lexus is NOT making any IS250+RWD+Nav for the foreseeable future....
Anyone can confirm that or is he trying to BS me ?

Not likely. Sounds BS...
The 250 RWD (auto or tranny) is the big seller; AWD is good but not all people need/want it (it's also more expensive). Now, Nav is a luxury item: Lexus will always offer Nav because it makes the car more luxurious, especially with ML. To combine RWD and Nav is a great combination.
If Lexus decides not to offer 250+RWD+Nav, they will definately lose buyers to BMW and Infiniti.

same thing here in Boston
Lexus of Watertown told my that it is nearly impossible for me to get an IS250 RWD with nav, tried to push me to settle for one without or get the AWD. This was confirmed by another local Lexus dealer. They just don't seem to offer that configuation up north.I know you're wondering why II'd want RWD in the snow, but I'm moving south this summer.
Emailed the guy giving great deals at Wilde Lexus in Florida and he says he can get one in about 60days. I'm thinking that I will either get the car from Wilde and have it shipped or wait until I actually move further south.
I wonder what the furtherest north one can be and still be able to order the IS250RWD with nav.
