Default No Luxury model on dealers lot. 2014

Went to several dealer in socal and non of them have 2014 Luxury model available. Is it a special order only? Anybody who have 2014 can you share pictures. On Lexus site it says LED headlamp, so is this the same as the one from hybrid model.

Base models are cheaper, so no surprise that they have more of them.

Yes, LED headlights are the same.

The LED headlights are on the hybrid only.
2014 luxury models get the normal HID headlights.

I don't have a picture I can post right now, but I just bought a Luxury. The dealers in Houston all have a few Luxury's in stock. As noted above, they do not have LED headlights.

No LEDs primary lights w/2014 (only 2014 GS450h + Luxury).

Luxury vs. F-Sport
Luxury gains Adaptive headlights, semi-aniline leather, 18" wheels, adaptive suspension (same springs/dampers but different software) plus the rear passenger luxury stuff.

F-sport gains bigger brakes, 19" wheels, and a firmer suspension software plus the aero kit.

Keyes in Socal has two Luxury lines on the lot. PM'd you.

I'm a little confused. The Lexus press release mentions LED fogs for the '14 luxury package, but the website definitely says bi-LED headlamps are now equipped on the luxury package.

I had the same issue looking around at Xmas time in so cal. No luxury package available anywhere a few dealers told me they couldn't find or get one. Ended up getting a,2013 gs450h to get the luxury package.

Thank you for all your replies, So it is still the same with 2013(without LED headlight). I was hoping they did change the headlight. The dealer I was working with offer me $1000 below invoice if I custom order but was giving me $3000 below for any F-sports they have. I still like the Luxury but $2000 difference is a lot of money. Guess I have some decision to make.

Beautiful car. I should continue to look for LUXURY model.I like the interior better than the F-sport. I wanted the Starfire pearl with Flaxen. If anybody have seen it at the dealership here in socal, please PM me. My dealer told me there is only one available locally.

I would have bought an F Sport, But my wife did not like the aluminum trim inside. Functionally the Luxury is pretty close to the F Sport. Wheels and tires and a full leather steering wheel would get it extremely close and there are some features on the Luxury you can't get on the F.
