Thank you for this post, it honestly put a smile on my face to see the recognition for this car. I can't imagine how other people question why we drive Es's.

FWIW, Consumer Reports has dropped the ES350 to "Average" in Reliability. It still is "Recommended" though.

Mine has been problem free for over 2 1/2 years...
