Does anyone have any intel/info on when the 2022 order guide will be out, and/or when deliveries might begin?

I've been asking the dealership every Monday to let me know if there's any updates on my order.

Still nothing

Guessing we won't know much until at least the end of next month.

Despite there being extremely low inventory of vehicles in general, doesn't seem that LC Convertibles are selling that well, which is understandable; it's very much a niche product. Much of the current stock has been sitting a long time.

Considering a Range Rover Sport Autobiography (talk about low inventory, there's literally almost zero inventory), an F150 Limited, and an LC 500 Convertible. I know, vastly different vehicles. The LC is impractical but man, just stunning. And that exhaust note! LOL

I tend to disagree that the LC convertible hasn't been selling well. If you look at the historical sales numbers, you'll see that since they introduced the vert into the mix, Lexus has been getting their best sales numbers on the model. Unfortunately we cannot decipher the breakdown between coupes and verts, but I can almost guarantee that the majority of sales figures over the past 6 months has been primarily verts.

I'm guessing the convertible is outselling the coupe 3:1 right now based on inventory out there.

Didn't mean to convey that the convertible isn't selling that well versus the coupe, but rather that they're not selling that well inherently. A lot of inventory out there that's been sitting 90, 120 days. Not saying this is a bad thing, but the buyer pool--regardless of the current supply/demand dynamic in both new and used cars right now--is tiny.

May be isolated, but I've been monitoring the dealer near me, and convertibles seem to be selling in 30 days or less. They had an IS coupe that was gone in a week and a half. Supposedly they are getting full MSRP (although I paid less).

The nearest dealerships to me, both located in Jacksonville, Florida, can't keep them in stock. As soon as one comes in, it sells - even if not pre-ordered.

just talked to the sales person today, as of right now there is still no MSRP listed for the 2022 model.

I brought mine in the Atlanta area. Not much inventory at the time. My car had been on the lot for 3 Days.

When I was searching for an LC a few months ago, the only inventory most dealers had was the convertibles. Hardly any coupes in stock.

Right now 382 LC's available nationally, and 66 of those are coupes.
so it's 4:1.

This is totally region based. Like others mentioned in warm climates the vert sales very well. I am in Utah and when it warmed up the dealer had 2 verts on their lot and both sold in a weekend. Personally I would buy the vert over the coupe but one of the main reasons is that Lexus did such a great job on this vert. Its not gimicky like some other manufactures out there. Plus I am a sucker for skin cancer
