While there is no question that being able to remote start with the Enform app is nice, does it not require the paid subscription version of Enform to be able to use it (after your free trial period)?
Yes after the first year, you must pay to subscribe. Not sure how much.

Congrats my friend!! I particularly like the color of the interior. Happy for you, but I still like my 15' NGP ES 350 with black interior. The only change I've made was to move up to the same 18" wheels like you have on your UL version. That one change has made the car look so much better and the riding characteristics are not much different.

Love the color (although Im biased )

Love the new wood in the interior

A bit jelly about not having the second antenna in the trunk lid

Not digging the brown as much as I thought I would BUT I reserve judgement because Ive seen many other brown interiors not "photograph" well at all. In person they are much nicer.

Still not sure about the front grille and teardrop looking fogs. And the exhaust tips look like they would be better served with a diffuser that completely surrounds them.

Yeah the flaxen looks much better in person than it does in pictures.

Its not the flaxen part I question, its the brown.

Looked at a TLX with "espresso" and it photographed the same way....seemed way too light (like milk chocolate brown), but then in person it looked spectacular.

Im guessing the brown pieces in the Flaxen interior look better than pictures can show.

Congratulations!!! It's a very nice car. I love the color combo a lot.

Now, that you've been so gracious to post pictures, I will comment for the first time on the 2016 Lexus ES. For starters, I'm on the fence about the revised front end; maybe it'll grow on me over time. And I'm also not digging the exhaust tips. They look out of place and not well integrated with the rear valance. Just my $.02.

You're used to seeing the car with no exhaust tips since yours is a 300h. I think the new tips look much more integrated than the old tips, which were cheap clip on looking generic units.

I think the new integrated tips look much better than the previous look. While the old ones were better than a single or no tip, the new ones are more fitting for a car like the ES350.

Agreed, I like the new tips as well. I see a lot of GS influence in the '16 ES, the tips are part of that.

I just wish they finished off the diffuser....still doesnt look right to me to have the lower half of the exhaust tip not surrounded. Luckily this is something the aftermarket could fix, if there is enough demand for it.

Finishing off the lower part of the exhaust tip is a fairly new design trend. Personally I think its a little played out...
