Default Sooo.... The 2013 RX seems to be here

At least according to cars.com

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

Anyone in New Mexico, Idaho, or Virginia?!

And there are still 2011s on lots... what a cluster.

On top of that, no invoice online that I have found yet for the 2013s, making my negotiating power somewhat difficult... Excel spreadsheet time...

Must not be that much of a cluster bc Lexus rasied the invoice prices of the Lexus RX 2012, and from what I have researched, been keeping to those higher invoices. RX 2012 been selling for a higher amount this year despite the fact that the RX 2013 are about to hit the floor.

My guess from what I have been hearing from the various Lexus people I emailed and talked to is that the Lexus 2013 will sell close to MSRP. Selling the Lexus close to MSRP, will allow the market for Lexus 2012 selling close close to the new invoice to continue to draw interest.

Time will tell.

Is there a web page that shows full specs when the VIN is entered?

I'm assuming on most early automotive sites there will be errors. Cars.com states the 450h is available F style.

Where does cars.com show F style? I wish there was a site to track VINs

I don't know about showing, but cars.com states:
A new optional Sport Appearance Package adds 19-inch chrome wheels, a unique front bumper and halogen headlamps. Available on the 450h is the F-Sport trim. It adds features such as a honeycomb-style grill insert, body aero package, tinted lights, larger wheels and sport seats, sport steering wheel and alloy pedals.

Why not? You can pre-order BRZ's or any other car that is not yet on dealer lots if they can take the orders. Or they can get you in and try to sell you on what they have on their lot... like the 2011's you pointed out.

Default Lexus.com Updated

2013 RXs are now being featured on lexus.com

The configurator (build your Lexus) tool still jumps you back to the 2012 model as of now.

I e-mailed the sales guy at Pohanka I've been in contact with. I'll report back on what he says.

I see they lowered the price on the Mark Levinson system to $995. The way they re-packaged everything I would not order the Luxury package again, I would just buy the lighted door sills myself and be done.

Yes, and a rather significant drop of over $600. LED Headlights also went down by over $600, and roof cross bars are no longer part of the Premium or Luxury packages at least on the RX450h -- only the rails are included.

wow surprised at the price drop of the LEDs. Also, it looks like pretty much all cars will have power folding mirrors now that they are part of the premium package and not the luxury package

im also curious what the non nav 7 inch screen will look like

My sales guy at Pohanka Lexus says that as of this morning they haven't arrived on the lot yet. They are expecting the first ones within a week though.
