Nope, our dollar is worth about 65% of yours. And yes our country is broken.
Best to put in a deposit and then you might get an early offer when someone has dropped there order.
I think if your wait time will be OK if you can be a little loose with your colour choice, as options are rather limited with trim limes in Canada. You only real choice would be the colour, you may be bumped up if someone in front of you dropped the line.I’ve just put a deposit on a 2026 in the Montréal area and the dealership told me that I should receive my GX before June. I’m a little worried right now after reading your post…Any other people are experiencing the same?
Thanks for giving me hope! I really, really love the Earth color, so I hope I’ll be able to get mine with the specs I'm looking for ; OT+, Earth exterior colour and black interior (I can be flexible for the interior...). To be honest, I don’t really understand how the allocation process works. I’ve put down a deposit on the car—Lexus/Toyota receives the order, and then what happens? Toyota need to say yes?
The process is Lexus makes whatever they make, they allocate whatever they want to the dealers, and the dealers compare the list of what’s coming to what people want to dole out allocations to customers.
That’s why there is no timeline, the dealers in Canada don’t know what they are getting until they are on the boat.
I waited 2 years for mine, eventually got a call saying it would be here in 2 weeks. That was the extent of the communication.

Thats sucks man...! I'm coming from Audi and BMW, the order process was very quick and easy, like they want my business. I've heard good things about Lexus, but the order process seems to be a fuc&1?$ pain in the a$$... I wonder if I did the right thing now...!
I’m not upset about it. They almost lost my sale over it when I had other cars I ordered options come up before the Lexus though. Is what it is.
Lexus works much better when you walk in and buy something off the lot.
Not sure their pipeline is really setup for a car where they have a huge amount more demand than production capacity.
