I had a loaner recently with exactly that color combo, inside and out. Let's just say I'm not fond of it.

Theres nothing wrong with that door, what are you comparing that to?



The ES350 was also just ranked one of the"Highest Quality Luxury" cars by Forbes.

The door of the ES may not be that spectacular, but the material used and build quality is far superior to other makes out on the road.

Japanese aesthetic is about simplicity, with use of utmost quality materials.

Its an ES not an S-class or a spaceship, its just simple but the quality is up to par. Some Benz doors are like that to. Bmw 335i you can say has a cheap interior but its sporty...lol

If you didn't tell me it was from an ES, i would've thought it was from a sub 20k car.
