I just recieved a call from my dealer and he has located and secured an ES350 for my wife. The car is currently in transit and will arrive around the 15th at the original dealer. My dealer estimates that he will recieve it around the 20th. (dealer trade)
I'm sure I will have a ton of questions so I ask that you be patient with me.

How does this combination sound...
Smokey Granite Mica
Black interior
UL Package
M/L Audio with NAV and DVD
Rear lip spoiler

Congrats on the new car. I'm biased, but the color combo sounds beautiful.

SGM was our original choice. The Ruby/black combination was really tempting tho. One thing for sure, I love the black interior.

Congrats! You will love the UL package!! I have the black interior and it is nice. I have two young kids, and the gray and tan are just too light for me. They show dirt easily. Just keep that UL glass roof tilted in the summer, that black interior does get hot!!

I like the blac interior (Ruby/black, UL) but I think if I was to do it again I'd get the grey or maybe the cashmire. The black shows dirt and smudges every bit as much as those two, perhaps more. My friend got the SGM with grey UL and the interior is just gorgeous.

Personal choice to be sure and frankly, they all look sharp as hell.

Now if they'd just lose the stupid keyless ignition, move the seat heater/vent controls to somewhere anyone who's not triple jointed can actually get to and put some much needed wood over the glove compartment to warm up the interior we'd have a total winner.

As it is it's very nice but it's not a home run.

Die, keyless ignition, die (lol)

PsychDoc, what's wrong with the keyless ignition? I think it is the best invention in the lexus line. When I first was shown by the keyless ignition, I was like

I thought by now, after using it for a while, that you'd have a warm and fuzzy feeling towards the keyless ignition...
