Japan made RX come with coated?
I'm about the pickup my Sport package 10 RX in Edmonton Canada this saturday, and I request dealership to complete undercoating and paint coating on the vehicle, but then the sales told me since the Sport package, and Ultra Premium package are both build from Japan, the vehicle is been coated before export to Canada.
Anyone know anything about this? I don't think the sale is BS since I will have to pay those service anyway.
I'm happy if this is true since I'm paying extra 2k for sport package from touring package, which I get sport tuned suspension, sport tuned steering wheel, polished wheel, head up display, VDIM, adaptive Front Lighting System, extra coating protection, and made from Japan !!!.
Sound like a really good deal

pretty sad when Canadians don't trust their own to build the same product....

Are you sure those packages are only made in Japan? Seems weird. I guess as long as the VIN starts with J that might have some credibility.
As for the coatings, I highly doubt that there are differences like that between the Japan and Canadian factories. I generally find that salesmen will say anything to make you feel good about the purchase of a car.

They (the dealer) should be able to provide you with a PDF file that explains exactly what will be done (services and parts added) at the port. The report looks like the sticker and lists the invoice date, ship date, port, vessel, etc. There will be a line that has the codes of what the port has to install upon receipt of the vehicle.

Maybe these are new production requirement in Japan. all new LS now comes with scratch resistant paint [special coating] so maybe all other Lexus built in Japan are now getting the same treatment. This would be a huge improvement if this is true. I still don't think Canada assembled Lexus are any more prone to quality issue as the Japan assembled Lexus.
I don't think Lexus would have some RX's having it and others not.

As far as a paint coating, a process was offered to me by the dealer which most say is not worth the extra money.

I dunno about the coating...Lucky u to get all the features like the remote touch & Heads up display..
Those r the coolest features for the RX which make it so special n unique.. Unfortunately, we don;t get it in here in Indonesia... ...Oh yeah, I just got my rx350 yesterday... Very satisfied w/ the build quality.. ride n performance has improved a lot compare to the previous model... overall, very happy w/ the purchase....
