Default LEXUS drops ball on delivery of new LS 600h L

Lexus takes the shine off the new Lexus LS 600h L. First, Lexus advised that there was an April 2007 launch, then later, delivery would be in June. The next announcement was a June production with a July delivery. Now it is a September delivery, maybe, and the -L model will be late September, maybe. Finally they promise a July production with an August delivery.

Does Lexus have any idea when they can deliver this much awaited vehicle? Several customers have cancelled their orders due to lack of a firm delivery commitment. Lexus should now focus on "The relentless pursuit of perfection" on delivery of this fantastic vehicle. They have sure lessened the excitement of the LEXUS LS 600h L.

Fantastic or not, I'm sure there are bugs that need to be worked out before releasing it to the public. Would you rather wait a bit longer to have a better-engineered vehicle or get it sooner but suffer from reliability issues?

If you have any idea about production scheduling, production management, and public relations, you would not make such a silly statement. Lexus has now admitted that they did drop the ball as they have been let down by their suppliers of the Lexus parts. Someone in management did not do their homework in scheduling parts to supply the production line in a timely manner. They did not get a reliable commitment from their supplier! The delay had nothing to do with "bugs".
