Default Finally completed the "Lexus Flush!"

Well I just picked up a leftover '05 ES 330 the other day, which means I have finally completed the "Lexus Flush," which is to say that I have had at least one of each model in the Lexus lineup. All of the cars have been great and even though I believe I have surpassed the 30 car mark, I have never had a single problem with any of them (which is more than I can say about the Mercedes, BMW's, Audi's, etc. I have had over the years). I just thought I would post this here because I'm sure there are plenty of people lurking around this website trying to decide if a Lexus is the right car for them. I can honestly say that no car I have ever owned has been more comfortable, more reliable, or more trouble-free than my Lexi.

When I picked up the ES, I also picked up an '06 LX470 and an '06 SC430 Pebble Beach Edition in the beautiful Tigereye Mica color (It looks much, much better in person ). I love the subtle improvements in both models and look forward to many roadtrips in the next few weeks in those cars (I don't fly).

Bottom line: thumbsup to Lexus

Nope, I'm not on that board, although my son might be. He taught me how to use these forums and so I kind of stole his name on this board I know he is very active on some other boards, so that could be him. Last time he came over to visit he took the IS350 out and was pretty impressed, so he might have joined My.IS

Congratulations. Some have questioned have you owned a GS? What about the RX and the GX? I would like to follow your footsteps and own all the Lexus models as well all at the same time. As you can see I have the ES 300, GS 300 and the SC 400. I need to get a truck and I'm waiting for the next generation Tundra to come out September 2006. I can't wait.

Congratulations!!!

That is very impressive!!!

Lexus should give you an award. If I were you, I would inform Lexus about this. Maybe you might get a free trip to the Bahamas!!!

Happy Holidays!
