I just came from driving the new ES 350 at the Inspiration Tour in Grand Prairie TX.

In the close circuit it was hard to differentiate between my 2010 and the new 2013 driving esthetics. The interior is much nicer than mine and the amount of leg room in the back is amazing!

Also, I found the screen is better positioned, higher on the dash and shielded.

The new car has a BLIS system that will warn you of any vehicles in the blind spot. Also, it will warn you of vehicles behind you such as in a parking lot. It also has lane departing warning.

I still don't care for the lifeless steering...other than that, I will go to the dealer and test drive the 2013 on the road. My lease will terminate in February. My wife liked that ultra light steering...

Were there many people at the event you attended? I got the information for one at a dealership near me, but don't recall when it is. If I can find it, I might reconsider and go to it.

I'd say 14-16 people were there. They schedule small groups every hour or so. You select the time you want to be there and it goes on all day.

They also had the hybrid, but we didn't drive it...no interest!
