Lexus of Bellevue still has theirs listed with an $8,000 ADM, but now Lexus of Tacoma has one with "only" an $2700 ADM

Hoping the Bellevue one rots just a little bit so I'll be able to check it out myself, but I won't hold my breath.

 

Just received word from my dealer they have been allocated a UE. I'm first in line with deposit. Arrival expected Nov or Dec. East coast dealer

 

^^ Congrats! Which dealer? It seems like the east coast dealers are getting these allocated and delivered later than the west coast.

 

^^ That makes sense as these are shipped to the west coast and have to work their way across the continent. Now my dealer (Eastern Canada) said he would get his by the end of October so keep in mind these will not arrive all at the same time so some allocations may take a bit longer to trickle in

 

Here is another video of "Wind" exterior color on the LC500

So far no actual reviews of the UE, correct? How far out are we?

 

Apart from the brakes, it's all the same so there's not much more new stuff to review. Reviews are gonna be from owners since there won't be any "press cars" for the UE.
They are gonna be trickling into dealers starting end of October.

 

you can't be 100% sure about that.. they made press cars for the LE, flare yellow and vector blue. molten orange i'm not sure if they did or not.

 

from hitting the dealership lots? i'm thinking end of october and i'm sure most would agree.

 

I agree they could potentially make one as they did with the other versions, however, I agree with Answer, other than the brakes, the rest is the same (as with the blue, yellow and orange). It would be great to see a few good quality videos of the colour on the IS 500. A colour of a different model can be totally different so I can't base my decision on the LC 500. That being said, I know I will get a chance to see it in person before having to make a decision anyway, but it would still be nice to get some good pics/videos. Not sure why Lexus NA is so adverse to create a buzz for their cars, almost as if they don't want to sell them (lol)

 

Alright, just so I have this correct. The only difference between a regular IS500 and a UE is the brakes? Really???

 

^^ Mechanically, yes. It is the mostly the same car (except for the brakes) with mostly cosmetic changes such as different interior bits (2 tone seats, 2 tone steering, red seat belts, red clock, red shift ****, 2 tone door panels, special door scuff plate, and a numerical number). Outside, the wheels are somewhat different, unique colour (based on how you define unique)

 

I think it is basically the same as the "Climax Edition" that Japan is getting. I'm not a big fan of the 2 tone interior TBH.

Definitely not worth any kind markup that we'll see.

 

^^ It is indeed the same version, just a different name.

 

UE Rims are matte. Normal IS500 rims are glossy
