I was thinking that, but congratulations and goodjob with staying in the Lexus familyWith my yellow CT and my wife's red RX, we probably have the most colorful driveway in the neighborhood.
You mentioned you got everything you wanted except NAV but you got black leather...I would doubt that it is leather in your car and probably Nuluxe (looks just like leather but no holes in it). Just stating this fact so if your dealer told you it was leather and it's not, you're aware of this fact. Most cars that have leather come loaded with NAV and more stuff...and, on the flip side, you can get a car like I did with NAV and with or without leather.View attachment 37382

Just took delivery of my daybreak CT last Thursday. We got my wife an RX 450h in January, and ever since that time, I've been very impressed with the hybrid technology and quiteness of her vehicle. Since my 2007 GS 350 (AWD, navigation, etc.) was approaching 90K, I decided to do some research into the CT and to possibly trade in my GS. After I test drove the CT with a friend, I decided this was the car for me. I approached my dealer in April about getting a CT, and put a $1000 deposit down for a daybreak premium w/nav and was told it would probably be about 2 or 3 months before delivery, depending on production in Japan. It looks like I got lucky in getting one so soon, but it was a dealership allocation, and unfortunately, I won't have navigation but will have everything else on the CT that I wanted, including black leather interior. If I held out for my order, I could be waiting for several more months.
I know I sometimes will miss the power and space of my GS, but I find that the CT does just fine and can actually maneuver around curves much better than the GS. I have a 130 miles on the CT so far, and am averaging 42.3mpg. Expect to fill it up in a couple of weeks.

factory leather...I would say yes...unless it's that dealer installed at port leather that so many Toyota dealers useGreat Lexus Hybrid family!!
And just on this note, my car does have the leather package and premium sound (10 speakers, etc etc), but does NOT have navigation...is this actually a "rare" combination?
Matt, I would say his combination with leather and no NAV is unusual. Most cars that came in had 3 price levels and most that I have seen that had leather had NAV too...now, some with leather didn't have LED lowbeams or crash avoidance system.I believe the leather package is factory installed on the CTs.

Oh, most definitely. It is a highly unusual combination, but I will say that I did see a CT with the leather package/memory package on a premium non-nav CT. I did a double-take cuz i didn't know that it was possible. Of course, this was early, the same week of the Japan earthquake.
Yes, my salesman set that up for us. It is also in the owner's manual some place.Does anyone know if the key can be programmed with the seats, so my chair will adjust to my likings when I unlock the car with my key, and the wife's preferences will be automatically selected when she drives with her key?
This is the standard Premium Package configuration in Canada. The Premium Package has everything you can get in a CT except NAV and HID headlights. $5000 over the basic price.Oh, most definitely.

Yes here is a link if my instructions aren't good enough See Pg. 81 (it has picturesInteresting!
I have a Fire Agate Premium with the leather package and premium sound system. No nav!
I do enjoy the memory seats, back up camera, homelink, and the side mirrors that tint down when reversing!

I don't have the upgraded membership. Just sign up for a free membership at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and upload your pics there if you don't feel like spending $40 (again, I have no idea how much you can upload once you upgrade). When you use photobucket, all you need to do is copy & paste links to the pics you want to post on here.Speaking on clear pictures, can you upload more detailed pictures if you 'upgrade your membership' on this board? I'm just not crazy about paying $40. for that kind of 'privledge'. I figure by the time you earn a 'member' status, it should be free.
