Pretty dull, but satisfying stuff IMO.

Repitition is the tool of detractors, lets turn it around

Yep I am a member of the minority on this forum - a satisfied ES 350 owner. I can see, hear, feel vibration, annd I monitor my transmission for malfunction largely due to the prolific posts of some who are determined to denegrate my car. I probably have a better appreciation of my cars mechanical integrity thanks to the negative post of all you unhappy owners.

Good observations. Although I don't do it much any more, for a while, I was always looking at the tach each time I drove away after start up to see if there was the flare/slip. I was afraid I was going to plow into one of my neighbors! The ES is still performing as expected and its owner is quite satisfied.

Where I come apart is the comment that we are "determined to denigrate my car". Far from it, as we all invested in the same model with high expectations. All we are doing is expressing our disatisfaction with Lexus not delivering on their promise with our specific cars. We are not judging your car, it is a report on our experience on our cars....that is our right! I would like to think that if our experience were positive we would either be silent or so report...as you have rightfully done in this thread.
