Default Far East Delivery

Some other manufacturers offer European Delivery, which is great.

I'd like to know who would be interested in taking delivery of their IS F in Japan and touring the plant and driving it on the FUJI track?

It would be nice for Lexus to offer a package deal, with airfare, hotel, etc.

They should at least seriously consider this for the LF-A.

Any other suggestions?

Nope, not interested, sorry. The only possible manufacturer I'd consider a factory delivery and tour for would be Ferrari, and I'm not even sure I'd do that. For a Lexus, I just don't see the point.

I would love to have Japanese Delivery if it can save me money like European Delivery for the German cars (at least cover the trip expenses - round trip air tickets + a few days hotel etc.).

I have yet to visit Japan, though I probably would spring next year . . .

Yeah, a 7% savings off MSRP (like what BMW offers) would at least go a long way to paying for the trip.

I mentioned to Lexus about doing a Euro-Delivery theme for Lexus a while ago.

The only bad part about this is that in Japan, cars are RHD (right hand drive) and drive on the left side of the road. In Germany and many parts of Europe, their vehicles are LHD and drive on the same side of the road we do. The only place that drives RHD are those in the UK.

For those who are not accustomed or ever driven on the opposite side of the road and opposite side of the car, it is a pretty disorienting feeling. I think the hurdles that would stop this would be 1) RHD and 2) Smaller roads in Japan would make it difficult to navigate for some.
