The day is coming, we got a called from dealer last night saying that our long waited TCH is in town and will be ready by Monday.

Both my wife and myself are so excited about this TCH. Over the past 5 years, we had 4 new cars/vans (all by Toyota/Lexus) and the feeling for TCH are totally different. She even questioned the other day, the TCH is the lowest price among the others (one we had) but she is most excited about this one.

I checked this forum everyday and see all kind of useful topics/techniques, ... This make my purchase a lot more enjoyable and memorable. Thanks.

The only (and really the only) disappointment is the colour. Our 1st choice is Blue Ribbon, 2nd is Frosted Mink. From the 3rd days after our firm offer, my sales rep already told us that chance to get the Blue is small (or should say zero). There is no Blue available (in Canada) until end of December shippment. Since I got a very high trade-in value, the dealer does not want to wait 4 months at all. So it ends up with Frosted Mink.

Anyways, the past month was a fun and excited. Just like waiting for my first baby.

Thanks everyone to provide so many good suggestions and information here. Keep it up.

Welcome to the club. I've been very happy with my TCH. BTW, what's "frosted mink"?

On the booklet it said Frosted Mink. To me it is just Gold.

Must be a color not available in the USA

I had it... Yeah....
Finally after the wait, we picked up ours TCH yesterday.
It is a wonderful car and so quite that it matched our previous GS300.

Now I have a 300+ pages manual need to finish.
