I am going to be curious if Lexus changes my order. I will not know until delivery.

I've read all I can about this VGRS and it sounds pretty snazzy and cool, but I'm seriously wondering if in real life you can tell any difference between a car with VGRS vs without.

difference in ratios is relatively large, like between old Avalon and a sports car... so while on paper, it might look small difference and you think you might not feel it, it is like driving something like MR-S and Avalon at the same time...
it is pretty cool and i would want it in my vehicle... Older systems were said to be weird but new ones have gotten only but praise.

you should be able to feel the difference... on highway, it will use longer gear ratio so you dont have to adjust as much (like an older Avalon), while in twisties it should use shorter ratio so your car will feel smaller and faster to react.

Where in AZ? I ordered mine mid-June and just got a call that it is on it's way from Cali. I'm in Phoenix. They told me 3-4 months but it is arriving in 2. Special ordered an F-Sport with all available options including VGRS, BSM, PCS, and rear sun shade which went through when I followed up and asked them to try again a month ago. Will have to see if it is actually on the car.

What color combination did you order? This is showing me that Lexus is extremely poor with handling orders as I ordered the same option configuration in May and do not have a build date as of yet. Granted everything in the Eastern Region is AWD but is that not the point of a special order. Frustration is now setting in...
It's silver with black interior. I never did get a build date. I heard nothing until the dealer called me yesterday and said it was in LB.
