Anyone been informed about hard arrival/delivery dates for a non Launch Edition 600hL? I've heard nothing but estimates.

DrComputer

Per my post earlier, Longo Lexus said they will receive one non-Launch LS600hl by the end of this month, two next month (Aug), and four a month from that point forward.

There are a handful of reports now about Launch Editions arriving in August, probably non-Launch Edition after that.

Was just told by Lexus Chat that LS Hybrids now will arrive in October? Can this be true?

Someone have already taken delivery of the 600hL Launch Edition in the U.S. from what's posted here . . .

oct, that's pretty late. but i *DID* hear before that the 600hl (normal ones) will come later together with the 08 ls460. not sure how true that is though

Yeah maybe the non-Launch Editions arrive by October?

I heard end of August, beginning of October for the non-launch edition cars.

LS600hL's have arrived in the Canadian dealerships since last week. I went to two different dealerships today & saw 3 of them, all pre-sold.
One salesman was nice enough to unlock one of them to let me peek inside, it has the Alabaster interior, but it's not 2-tone. The dash & top of doors are real leather with the stitchings, but it's grey, not black as we saw in the Neiman Marcus Launch Edition(we don't have that in Canada, although we have Truffle Mica available for all LS's). Still it looks very classy, these are beautiful cars inside & out.

Sorry no pics, & 2 of those cars are still covered with white tapes anyway ...

Yeah, they've been here for a while. We Canadians are notorious queue jumpers... hehehe

Good to hear that the LS 600h Ls have arrived in Canada, with leather dashes too.

Only the LS600hL's with Executive Package
One of the three I saw today is a Verdigris Mica/Cashmere with the 5-seat configuration & it does not have leather dash, exactly the same inside as the LS460L's ...

Oh, hmm wonder why they did that? Strange. Clearly different regions are lacking certain stuff, with no LEDs in Hong Kong and no leather dash in non-Exec in Canada.

Also Lexus Australia delayed the LS 460 intro 6 months or so because they specified only "fully-equipped" models.

Gojirra99

In Canada, it's either the "entry package" with 5-seat configuration, or you have to pick a C$26,700 option with the Executive Package, more leather inside, plus a bunch of other stuff bundled together , only 2 choices

First we are told "Spring". Then June. Then early August, Now October? Still want my LSHybrid but very disappointed in the lack of communication and meeting dates. Very Disappointed.
