Yup, I agree. This is not a $50k car IMHO. $45k car sure, but not a $50k car.

There's no pano available on the hybrid, period. They don't get it with the UL package.

I am sorry it took me so long to respond. We have been slammed with our sales event going on but also too because I wanted to clarify what was going on with the Ultra Luxury Package with Lexus cooperate. After speaking to them I was able to get a clear answer so I can explain it to you.

The Ultra Luxury Package, like I mentioned is on the 13 ESh and on the 14 ES350. HOWEVER, when they made this decision, there were a couple that were already being built with UL, you are going to find only a handful with UL that are going to be available. We are receiving only 3. What they are now doing is that if customers want the UL it will have to be a special order if they are not quick to grab one of the several that slipped through cracks.

I am sorry about the confusion on my end! Not my intentions at all. Please let me know what you would like to do! Like I mentioned I have 2013 available now, and just 3 that are 2014 coming in.

So looks like the UL package for the 300h will be a special order..
Wonder why? Maybe they didn't sell as good as Lexus thought they would.
I had to special order my ES300h UL. It took about 4 months to get delivered but the wait was well worth it. No buyers remorse thinking that I should have purchased this or that option. Some districts, like the one I am in, the southeast, have decided not to even list the fully loaded option package on their "Build your Lexus" websites. I had to use a zip code in Seattle, Washington to get to see all that was available on the car.

I can understand what you all are speaking to, but I SURE HOPE My 300h DOES come w/
the 'UL' AND Panoranic Roof. My SPECIFIC Build Sheet, from the Dealer, sez "Pano".
SUPPOSEDLY, my 300h was Built this past Monday, now somewhere in Japan, waiting for
'Das Boat'. Time will tell. I'll keep you all posted.

This is Lexi #5. I HOPE my "Loyalty" gets me what I ordered.

No panoramic roofs on ES300h just ES350. At least not in the USA.

I guess my mistake. I thought the UL package included the Pano roof.

Got it. I just went to the Lexus site. I was going from memory and thought the UL had the pano roof for both. I see now that the pano roof is included only for the ES350 at $2900 for the UL package, and $2400 on the 300h w/o. So for $2400, you're essentially getting better (aniline) leather, ambient lighting, seat extender and power rear shades? No thank you.

Yep! And the aniline leather and seat extender is worth every penny!

People under-emphasize the value of the aniline leather IMHO. Its a huge upgrade from the standard leather.
