Wheels look smaller than on the '09's. Taillights look busier, not better. Need to see one in person to really get a feel. Thanks for posting the pic.

It's got the chrome strip on the bottom of the doors. I think they're putting that on most models now.

Did you take any pictures of the inside or front of the 2010 ES 350? How did the front fog lights look?

The doors were locked so I couldn't take interior pictures and I forgot to take a picture of the front end. The front fog lights take some time to get used too but after awhile it looks okay. The previous fog lights looked much better, it kinda looks similar to the SC.

Thanks for posting the pic. Now that doesn't look too bad from the back. I have found that the ES looks much better in the 'real' rather than looking at a picture of it. Can Buick steal the 'thunder' from Lexus??

Just checked it out...they updated the listings, gallery, etc....the virtual tour and vids remain the prior version, which I expect will stay that way. They also added a '40,000' hours commercial which includes closeups of the fogs.

The interior pics also show added chrome surrounds for the door wood inserts, interesting. Considering some of the critiques over less wood in the ES 350 (now responded to in this model refresh), I was actually surprised by the size of the door wood inserts when I sat in a loaner ES 350 a few days ago...they are actually very large in area, compared to other models (LS 430, HS 250, past ES models). Now with added chrome trim...

Speaking of more wood, I think the 'updated' (photoshopped) interior pic here is missing the glovebox piece:

Does anybody have any pics of the 2010 ES350 without navigation? The 2009 ES350's center stack looked pretty cheap without navigation. Seems like most of their models have moved away from the green backlighting w/ black LCD text that they've been using pretty much since Lexus first came out 20 years ago... but the ES continues to use it. Wondering if they did away with it for 2010 by any chance, and I can't find a single pic of it without nav anywhere.

I looked at one yesterday, but the dealer was closed so I could not power it up. It looks just like the 2008, but when powered the colors might be different but I doubt it. Saw the new green (Peridot?) and it looks pretty good in bright sunlight. Lots of colors in the sparkle part of the paint. Overall, kind of an olive green with lots of sparkle effects.

you're welcome. Just for clarification, we don't have sharkfin antennas in the Middle East.
