You're not the last one buddy! I ordered mine on Sept.26 and the only thing I've heard from the dealer is that "it will be built in December". I am SOOO hoping that it arrives in early Jan!!!!!!

December production usually means late Jan early Feb. Which sux.
I ordered mine on 9/1/06, which supposedly was before the 15th of the month deadline for it to be a November production. Contacted dealer and found out it became December production. Frustrating...yes
I'm currently driving a really old beater which could breakdown any minute.

Until Lexus learns how to do special orders, this is going to be my first and last "new" Lexus. Not buying a new Lexus again unless it is available on the lot.

Yea, I ordered mine on Sept. 26th so, I am assuming that it wont come anytime sooner than Jan 26th.

Dude, every morning I wake up and tell myself.... "Hope I make it to work today". My stupid steering system is SOOO messed up that I even spun the car 360deg getting of an exit ramp!!!! People behind me got scared as hell and so did I.

LOL! I am actually from Philly! I just came down here for few months to work. I am traveling all over the country working for Toyota. But originally from Philly.

What can I do man, that's the only thing I got to drive. And on top of that, its only couple months away since my IS350 comes in...

Yea man, Philly's AWESOME!! I am hoping that you've tried the all famous "Philly's Cheesesteak"?!?!? If you haven't than, make that priority #1 next time you're in Philly! I wanna drive down to philly once I get my IS350 and hopefully meet up with some fellow CL members.
