This cannot possibly be true. I am of the opinion that some of these sales people, regional managers, etc. are absolutely clueless about what is going on. We know a lot more from reliable posters and information on this board than do a lot of the Lexus sales people and managers.
ljflx (Len), help us out here. Forget about some of those ignorant people that got you very upset (rightfully so) on the other board (HELM) and bless us with your valuable knowledge here.

I certainly hope that my (and the boards) previous information was right.
I will be flying out to Chicago soon to drive the LS460 and see the LS600.

That would have to be for that region only!

New York would sell 200 by itself in the first 6 months!
In the "Midwest Region", Lexus doesn't play as well as it does in large, coastal cities like LA, Miami, and New York.
Don't see many Toledo dealers getting more than one. Don't see many Toledo Lexus dealers!
The US should see 2-3k in the first year, than adjust according to demand after that.
Expect price somewhere around the S550 prices, $85k to $105k loaded.

Actually Chicago and Detroit are very large Lexus Markets. From what I have heard, the detroit market is one of the largest in the country, which, although on the surface is quite surprising (Detroit is a heavy American car area), it is not surprising in that Detroit has a high concentration of wealthy people.

I've heard Dallas is a big Lexus market as well. Las Vegas seems to be pretty good also, just from my observation. In the introductory years, Reno didn't have a Lexus dealer for quite a while. I'm sure they have one now, but you used to have to go to Vegas or Sacramento for Lexus then.

FWIW, my dealer left me a voice mail last week claiming he has pricing for the new LS460. According to him, the SWB will be in the low 70s and the LWB could climb all the way to the mid-80s. I have not returned his call cos I figure he must be smokin' som'thing.... How can Lexus go from $55K to $70K in one fell swoop ? Not gonna happen, IMO.
I remain inclined to believe the starting price in the low-60s for the SWB, and the LWB in the low-70s...
The cars will arrive dealer showrooms Oct 21, or thereabouts. Expect confirmed price within 1 week of release.... Meaning: we gotta wait another 6 weeks before we can all be certain of the correct price on these cars.

As great as the LS460 and LS600hL will be, if the pricing is this high, it will not work out very well at all for Lexus. It cannot be true. I'm with you. These people are totally clueless about these things.
