need help with options

hello all, i just got a new 2007 IS 350 loaded with everything, the package i got was the one with everything on the list.
how come my ownsers manuel talks about headlight washers, parking sensor's collision avoidance and radar cruise control but none of these features are offered by the dealer or on the lexus website.
are these canadian models or somthing?
can you order additional features somehow?

can someone give me a short list of things you can add to this car and their approximate cost?
thanks

Here in the Northeast the IS350 only comes in one configuration (luxury package w/18 inch wheels, navigation, park assist) unless you special order. Looking for one with Mark Levinson audio package? Too bad. These aren't offered in the Eastern Sales Region. It's rather annoying the way Lexus has set that up. The major packages/options are Navigation, Mark Levinson audio, Park Assist, Luxury Package, Sport Package, Premium Package, Dynamic Cruise Control/Pre-Collision System. There are no aftermarket options, so unless you order the car with the options you are interested in they are impossible to add later.

The Luxury Package has a lot of stuff in it but as others have mentioned this doesn't mean your IS is fully loaded. There are Headlamp Washers, Park Assist, Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, satellite radio, Ground Effects, and a few more options.

You can't add any of the electronic options (other than satellite radio) as they are too ingtegrated into the car to allow aftermarket installation.
