Lexus ES350 hits a A+ in ride and cabin noise in A on A
So Mr. Alex did his review today for the new ES350
An A+ for ride
An A+ in cabin noise
^^^^ for an F-Sport
Wow, that is impressive. Haven’t seen a car get an A+ in both of those categories yet. (Note sure how to post a video)

They don't post through the regular attachment system. Just go to YouTube, search for what you want, click on the video, copy the URL, and paste it without the IMG brackets. Most of the time's there's no problem.
I don't quite understand his comparison to the Buick Regal, though. This car actually competes more with the Lacrosse. The Regal doesn't offer a V6 except on the GS model.

I was just about to post this too Jill, and that was an F Sport variant on 19" wheels. I agree with him, the car rides great and is very quiet.

I've wondered the same thing. King Alex sounds kinda creepy.

Probably, at least in the American market. It will remain in production a few more months.
Not sure I'd buy one, though. The workers in the Hamtramck plant are probably so p***ed off at Mary Barra that who knows what they might try and do to sabotage the assembly line before it shuts down.

Like I said, the one I test-drove, with the 45's, was clearly too rough and noisy for my tastes. I'm thinking, though, that perhaps we might both be correct. I usually check tire PSIs before a test-drive, to see if they are within a couple pounds of recommended. It's possible that I just forgot to do so (too much air in the tires), or that there was a problem with the tire-sensing-system on my test car, giving false readings, though it is not likely to have affected all four tires and their individual sensors.

The spec-sheet lists F-Sports as 40-series. The one I drove (with a wheel-option package) was not an F-Sport. The base model (which is the one I'd probably get) has 55s, like the Avalon XLE.
It is possible to get comfort and good handling both with low-profile tires (the best example I can think of was the last-generation, hydraulic-steer BMW 335i and its 35-series Sport Package)...but such good compromises like that are generally rare.
