Lemon -- I didn't shop. I ordered it before the price and info was out and just agreed on MSRP. Also, I haven't driven it nor cleaned it since I drove it home in the rain. It looks just like the silver ES300h's in the brochures, but dirty. Black & light grey interior. UL model, with all options, basically. Price rounded off to $50,000., plus tax, license, etc. (Around $52,500, OTD)

You're as good a shopper as I am when it comes to cars! But in Canada, from what I've heard and my own experience with both Toyota and Lexus dealerships, it's pretty hard to get a a deal, unless it's at the end of the year. I paid full MSRP and they low-balled the trade-in by $1,500.

I have has my 350ES for over 3 weeks now. traded in a 2008 350ES when I brought it in for service right when the new 2013 arrived at the dealership. Beautiful car. This is the 3rd Lexus I have owned. This one is Black with the light tan interior and most of the options. So far I love the look; however, selecting a Serius station is an effort, and changing a station needs to be done when standing still not driving.

I am finding that steering the car takes much more effort than my 2008 350ES. Seems to not hold a straight line and needs continuous correcting, which results in overcorrecting. Does anyone know if there are adjustments to the steering system that the dealer can make??

Just signed for the ES300h today, pick it up later this week. I got lucky, the car I wanted was in the dealers lot, just arrived. Starlight Black Mica, "Leather Package" (Canadian package - Leather, ML, HID main features). Upgrading from a 2010 Camry SE V6, absolutely loved the test drive. Didn't notice the power drop for my driving, and the NVH and general ride quality was fantastic. Can't wait to get those 40MPG readings on my car!

Finally the dealer got the color and package I was looking for. Starfire Pearl with Luxury Package. I traded in my 2004 Mercedes Benz E500 using the Costco program. I got mine below invoice price. It's a bit of a step down for me from a Mercedes. This ES350 got my attention on its spacious interior, I have to say it is way more than the E500. I would definitely miss the power and comfort of the E500 but I have to let it go.
