Weird...

Please tell me he's wrong and your saleswoman is right.... lol
I hope he is just confused, I thought this was even on the spec sheet released from Lexus for the 2015's.

My saleswoman said they show up in the allocation.

Maybe someone else will back that up, if not I will email my saleswoman tomorrow.

I went back and looked at the '15 spec sheet to be sure and it says Atomic is going to be exclusive to the f sport, surely it will come with rioja. I would call your salesman back and ask him to take another look. This is giving me anxiety!

Oh good, so we could get clarification on this today, I'm glad you aren't in the Eastern time zone!

Wow, you're right, fun to watch and gives you a much better idea of what the color looks like in person.

I just read that they are also introducing it on the GS F Sport for 2015, so sounds like Lexus is finally giving us what we want!

Seriously... I'm considering just putting an order in for mine now.. If I'm going to have to wait, maybe I can at least get what I want like Adaptive Cruise Control, and maybe VGRS too?

If you got the patience, go for it! Me I will be waiting on pins and needles for mine (first one off the boat) to get here, patience isn't one of my virtues.

In Canada, you can get AS with RR - that was the original combination we went for, unfortunately the car that was ready at the pier got into an accident, so we ended up waiting for a new car and the fastest one they have on order is a AS with a black interior. Still great, but I still really like the RR. Maybe on my next car

He said cars will start coming in mid August, which is really soon.
There is one Atomic Silver F-Sport with Black interior coming in on 8/15, and he was trying really hard to convince me to get that instead of ordering one hahah.

But the ML just sounds much better compare to the Lexus Premium Audio.

Oh my goodness, could that mean I might have my new car in less than a month's time?!?! Hoping! I need to check with my dealer and see if they have a firm date and options for their allocation.

Good News, good news! Talked to my sales woman and my car should arrive at the port on the 12th and at the dealer by the 20th. I can have the spoiler installed at the port so I have to decide for sure if I want it so time to do an image search!
