I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate. I don't have the UL model but mine does have the cushion extender for the driver's seat. I think I have most everything that can be had except what the UL includes (ML sound system, pan roof, upgraded leather). This is my second ES350 and even my 2007 was the same way.
Pretty sure I have the Premium Plus pkg since I have everything in the list mentioned except for the above three things. This one even has the XM tuner.
To the OP - enjoy the car! My 2008 is pretty much the same as yours. For 2009 they changed it from Royal Ruby Metallic (what I have) to Matador Red Mica which is a little brighter. I also have the light gray interior which doesn't seem as common.
My commute is about the same as yours and even in stop & go traffic I still manage low/mid 20s for mileage with reg gas - not bad considering I don't drive it like an old man.

That's why you do small things and don't say a word. And if they question you make them think they're losing it by saying its always had that. Mind games work both ways, make'em feel crazy!
They really can't tell unless you hellaflush it

BAZINGA!
And just like that we're now a 2 Lexus family!
Picked up a 2011 RX350 for my wife yesterday. She had been driving a Nissan Murano. Ours had been very good to us but at 187,000 miles started having transmission glitches. New trans @ $4500 = bye bye Murano. She actually kind of shed a tear when leaving it behind. But no more tears. The RX will see to that.
She seems really happy with although it's only been about 24 hours since we picked it up.
Gotta give a shout out to Mungenast Lexus of St. Louis. This is the second car we've bought form them this year and they've been terrific. The dealership itself is the size of a small hotel and has to be the most impressive showroom I've ever been in.

congrats speedflex.
Good looking dealership. Kansas City Lexus is new too, they are part of the Hendrick Auto Group which my Lexus dealer is a part of. We finally level this 20 year old facility for a new modern 70,000 square foot facitlity in approximately 6 months. We just parted with the Infiniti dealer, we sold that franchise to the automall one town over to make room for our new building
