At first glance if you see the car by itself, you wouldn't really realize it until you put a USB and a USB 2.0 vehicle side by side.

I would love a brand new white/Cabernet GS. But I drive 30k miles per year and need good gas mileage--hence why I am considering the ES300h as a great compromise with MPG and luxuriousness. I have a loaner ES300h now....this thing is effing QUIET compared to my 2010 IS250 AWD.
All good points, though in your post! ^^

^ i think the exterior of the 3IS is really quite attractive. additionally, along with the older es you posted above, the newly refreshed 2016 ES is also an attractive car.
as for interiors, the IS' luxurious ambiance is a bit lacking even when one opts for the luxury package, although the interiors of the ES, GS, and LS are all top-notch.
i think that lexus needs to tone down the grill significantly -- it can remain, although it's more than a bit too prominent on a number of models.
the only model that stands out as inelegant is the new nx for me. well, i suppose the gx and lx aren't very elegant, either, although they fill a different set of customer needs.

yeah, then an es300h would be your best bet if you were to stay within the lexus family. would you wait until the mid-cycle refresh or are you going to be buying right away? i think the refreshed cars will hit the dealers soon as 2016 models -- http://www.lexus.com/models/ES-hybrid.
best of luck!

So If I bite I will get a 2015.

Yes, that's correct. Hard for me to explain since it's been a while since I have seen it them side by side. The USB 2.0 appears a little deeper and darker than USB.
At first glance if you see the car by itself, you wouldn't really realize it until you put a USB and a USB 2.0 vehicle side by side.

I always found usb had too much hint of purple under certain lightning conditions or needed to be a tad deeper
either way if its barely that noticeable I'm still okay with that as usb is great as is
best lexus color and goes totally against there conservativeness

I'm looking at the 2016 ES300h spec sheet and it does indicate that semi-aniline leather is still available:

WHen using Lexus's Build-Your-Es configurator it doesn't show semi-aniline leather with the UL package, as well.
Maybe this is an error?
