2006 IS250/IS350 Allocation WEST COAST

Are people supposed to custom order the ML system without trying it out first and wait for 90 days anyway only to find that their ears might not be sensitive enough to make the system worth the additional cost and the 90 days of wait?
Again, if the car I want (or might want, since I haven't listened to the IS's ML system in person to know if it's worth the money yet) actually existed I might be able to enjoy "searching for" it. Right now it's KNOWN to be non-existent. Talk about depressing.

even the new E90s, through a competitive dealer, can be custom ordered for invoice + $1k

so sounds like Lexus does not encourage "custom orders", which is fine, as long as you can find the car exactly how you want it

In any case, Mark Levinson is available, but in a special order and if there are a lot of orders then I'm sure they will start building them. Probably they are "testing" the market since it is an expensive option.
I doubt we will see any PCS on this car. Another expensive option, but you can absolutely order it.

I found it funny originally how people want fully loaded, but they dont care what exactly is included as long as it is fully loaded. I bet if Lexus offered PCS + ML in first run models, people would complain how it is really expensive at 46k, this way it would be great pricing:-).
