Question areas with DRS cars

So what parts of the country get DRS-equipped cars? I started doing random searches on the Lexus site, and looks like Dallas area does. Others? Thinking whether buying out of state is an option or not, if I don't want to order...

You'll find the areas with less concentration of awd have a greater concentration of drs. They're very few though. I'm in south florida and it was tough to find one. I actually bought mine cpo and was lucky enough to find one with drs and hud.

I would imagine AWD more popular in areas with colder weather. DRS probably more widely available in warmer climates. That being said, I have an F-Sport with DRS in Southern CA.

I wonder why Lexus has completely stopped supplying SoCal with DRS-equipped cars. Makes sense that warmer climates get DRS cars, but then why not SoCal? Its sunny and 80 right now!

Lexus vehicles are generally ordered by their geographic areas and then allocated down to the dealers. So it's a bit more demand related. It would seem that DRS just hasn't had the demand to keep them available in stock that the enthusiast centric owners on this forum would think.

It looks like you can add it for rwd.
