Argh! my eyes hurt with those fugly wheels showing up on every production RC-F. Why cannot Lexus ship just the standard wheels on even just one single RC-F?

Prior I had preordered Blue, Silver then Orange. I don't really care too much on the color anymore. Just get one here.
I got scared reading this, so I talked to my dealer. He said the delay still only applies to the carbon fiber package. I'm getting a special order without the carbon fiber package so I'm still on track for sooner rather than later. When exactly, he doesn't know. Lexus doesn't tell him what place in line I'm in.

Thanks for the update. I'm still in the dark too. A tidbit of information: An RC F that was built on 10/6 arrived at dealership today, so once it's on the manufacturing line, it goes pretty fast.

Anybody know if they tell you what ship it ends up on? That could be fun to track.

I couldn't locate the thread for you but I think I remember someone on the 4GS thread saying that they were able to get the info to track the actual ship that's carrying your vehicle.

I was told 90-120 days and I was dealing with the sales manager. They sent me a copy of the order.


Ryan,

A copy of the order is attached. Your vehicle will arrive in 90 to 120 days. I will have visibility of the vehicle and the VIN approximately 45 days from arrival. Please feel free to reach me any time for an update.

Ordered Ultra Whie, Circuit Red Interior. Carbon Fiber Top and Rear Wing, TVD. All Options.

Will know more after January for build date.

This is going to be a long wait. 5th in line, One allocation per month for my dealer.

I can confirm some of the above timelines. Assembling bits of information and making a few assumptions:
- Next set of cars hit dealerships (in NorCal) end December.
- Orders placed over last ~2 months get notification (and VIN) beginning January.
- Special order vehicles (non-carbon) start arriving mid-February.

White Exterior
Red Leather Interior
Premium Package
All Weather Package
Mark Levinson w/Nav
20 Spoke Wheels
Pre-Collision System with Radar Cruise
No Moon Roof

I tried to order with TVD, but I am told the stand-alone option is no longer available. I was on the fence with it anyway due to the added weight, and track use will be limited to 3-4 HPDE events per year. As a daily commuter, it will be fine with the Torsen.

I will not trust CL poll as representative of all Lexus potential customers. I doubt there are more than a few % of Lexus owners that actually post or browse here .....

Well, I received a call today stating that the TVD might still be available, and I will know once the order for the build is complete. I will update as soon as I get a definitive answer.

Odd that there are these differences with the order process. My salesperson says he input my order with TVD as a single option and black was the only interior color that the system would take with the Ultra White exterior. No moon roof.

Did Lexus provide you a price for the TVD stand-alone option? I think I read in an older thread that it was a $1,500 option.

Though you said you planned on only attending 3-4 HPDE events a year, your daily drives around town with the TVD should be entertaining as well.
