"..use premium to avoid the resulting retarded engine timing..."
 
Probably not....
 
In modern day vehicles, at least for the last 5-8 years, spark knock is often NOT the problem, so retarding the ignition is rarely the solution. The engine/transaxle ECU is capable, using the crank position sensor, to tell if the detected knock/ping ocurring prior to ignition is due to low octane fuel. For low octane fuel the solution is slight enrichment of the mixture under knock/ping conditions, high throttle openings.
 
For knock/ping due to engine lugging a simple downshift is used. If there is no downshift available then DBW will be used to dethrottle the engine and prevent damage.

I am ready to purchase a 2010 RX with the Mark Levinson stereo system and Park Assist features. I am being told that they are not building them with these two options right now. Has anyone purchased/ordered a car with either of these features??

Maybe call Lexus Corp and ask if these options are available at this time.

I tried that. They said they were but the dealers are giving me a different story. Just wondering if anyone took delivery of any cars with either option??

I ordered a car two months ago that included park assist. I have not been informed that it is not available.

as I understand the process you really do not order a car from Lexus--you place an order and the dealer will tell you when one with options close to what you want is on the water.
 
I would presume eventually you would get what you want but it might take a while. I had 2 dealers tell me Lexus tells them what they are shipping.
 
I "ordered" the new hybrid and there are certain options I do not want (heads up, rear seat entertainment, park assist, accident avoidance) and certain I do, (sport package, levenson and the full lux and comfort pkg)
 
We will see--but I have time other than just wanting the car.

Hal56,
 
I have not found a dealer able to order me a hybrid yet. They are telling me I might not be able to order until July and may not receive the car until 2-3 months later. What were you told by your dealer?
