Are you sure you don't have the 350? I didn't think the 300h has the panoramic option.

Hi all,
This is my first Lexus. Just got an ultra luxury in white with black interior. I didn't really care about the Mark Levinson audio but wanted the panoramic roof so I had to go with it because it was in the package but I cant believe how much I am liking it!!
I have been in BMW's for the last 3 cars (9 years) and my last car was a 535i GT. I can't believe what a better value this car is. So much car for so much less that a comparably equipped 5 series.
I've had the car for a couple of weeks now and am really loving it!

2005 Lexus ES 330
2006 Lexus GS
2006 LS 430
2007 LS 460
2008 LS 460L

Hi Mike,
I will post pics as soon as I get them mounted. Just Have to sell 18 inch Lumari Morro wheels before I mount new ones. They looked real nice on my Black/Parchment 2011 ES. Put 1st one on couple weeks ago & took it off immediately. It did not look as good as the OEM18 inch Ultra Luxary Package wheels.

The PVD coated chrome wheels I am going to mount are OEM 18 for ULP. They are actually same 18's but in chrome. I am so ocd about my cars that i would wax the factory wheels, however the detail shop I use in the winter for washing purposes put some kind of chemical on wheel that ate into the finish. Of course I cannot get past the small imperfection so brand new one are boxed & sitting in my basement. My dilema now 8 wheels to recoup money on & not sure how to go about doing so. I can tell you the new wheels are really good looking in the PVD chrome finish and ready to jump out of their boxes & onto my car.

Hello everyone!
I bought my first lexus(ES250 2013) a couple of mounts ago and would like to join your club.
few words about me: My name is Evgenii and I’m from Moscow, Russia. I'm 30, almost 31
and about my new ride: Last generation ES but with two and a half engine.
Configuration: I will try to compare my car with a base US ES350 configuration:
Almost every feature from base US comes in my car. Except: Shark-fin antenna, HomeLink®, rearview mirror with compass(no compass in my car)
But I’ve got with mine config the following: Power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, Heated front seats, Intuitive Parking Assist, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps.
And that’s it!)
One more thing is different: The color of my car metallic black, that’s
not obsidian. I guess that type of color unavailable in USA.
I will post fotos a bit later. Now it’s raining and car used to be
washed before a photo
session.

Hi. New ES350 owner for last eight days - still struggling through the encyclopedic owner manuals ) Previous rides were '05 Acura TL and '13 Prius v.
Satin Cashmere Metallic/Parchment
Blind Spot Monitor
HID lights
Power rear sunshade
Luxury package
NAV
Parking assist
Rain sensing wipers
Wood/leather shift ****/wheel
Trunk mat/cargo net/wheel locks/bumper app
Great car, all the way - smoother than smooth.
Photo? When (if) it stops raining down here.
