GS350 Loaded Ordered W/Levinson
I ordered a totally loaded GS350 w/Levinson some time ago and wondered if this is really a special order car or whether there might be any in the country now based on the first shipment of cars (I'm getting kinda anxious).
I didn't notice the Levinson option on the website which leads me to believe that it is custom and that I'll be waiting another 8 weeks or so for the arrival of my car. Any thoughts? I was toying with calling another dealer and asking what the availability is and they could check the national allocation... but I'd thought I 'd post here first.

EDIT: Just noticed that I botched my search and ended up in the GS forum. I was actually asking about the IS. My apologies for getting OT.
Original misguided post:
I just started a thread to ask this question, but the people in this thread are the ones who should have the answer...
Does the Nav/ML package include Park Assist? I wonder because the price of the two ordered separately (is this even possible?) is $500 less than the package price.
Second, rhetorical question: why is Toyota/Lexus option packaging and availability so much more complicated and harder to figure out than anyone else's?
Thanks.

Toyota/Lexus packages come in odd groupings, but I think the BMW options are more complicated - since just about everything is optional.

Ok... so is it safe to say that if I put $500 down on a car and it is 6-8 weeks from arriving, I should call the dealer and say, "hey... go find me my car and bring it in?" it's a fully loaded black AWD with tan interior... Nav+ML.

The AWD may be what's slowing you down. I don't think they've included too many of those in the initial shipments. My dealer told me California was getting almost none of them - the ones they did build were being sent East. I'm waiting for an Obsidian/Black RWD with Nav+ML - the dealer said 1-2 weeks.

I saw a handful of 350s in San Diego 2 weeks ago when I was there (Hotel parking lot and on the street), but none were AWD.
I stopped by my dealer in the Philly area (One of the bigger dealers out here) and they don't even know when they'll get them. They're saying by the end of October.

Ohio is in the Central Region but Pittsburgh is in the Eastern
so here in the East we will get non nav, Nav only no park assist, Nav + ML+ park assist. If it is not available in Ohio that way which would be surprising then try a Pittsburgh dealer. The posters from CA get cars before we do but not AWD's. Color can be a factor in how readily available your GS350 will be in early production. The shipments are just starting to arrive so it shouldn't be long...BTW you will be happy with the performance, it's awesome.
