Lexus doesn’t allow to order? Huh

I literally ordered my IS. Surely things haven’t changed that bad since 2021?!!!!

Depends on what you consider "order" to be. Outside of the LFA Lexus has never done factory orders. They batch-produce cars. So when you went in and specced your build the dealer was able to find one in the system either built, being built, or in the factory queue. Lexus, as well as all the other Japanese car companies, limit options so factory orders are not really necessary, in the general retail world it is similar to keeping the number of SKUs low and has advantages in efficiency.

I live in Florida, I flew to Houston to buy a car/spec I wanted earlier this year. Look outside your area. You can probably find a better deal too with a more motivated dealership. I had a fantastic experience.
