Just picked her up and came back home, 2019 ES 350 UL Imminent White with Chateau and Dark Espresso wood trim. A beautiful piece of art. Traded my 2008 LS460L, 93000 miles with all options and no regrets after driving the ES, call me crazy but that's just me.

Wohoooo. Congrats!! I'm guessing you're happy with the ride compared to the LS, so how does it compare?

Crazy? You just made one of the smartest purchases on the planet.
Please, for the love of all things holy, post some pics!

The ride in my opinion is ideal, firmer than the previous generation but absorbs the bumps and road grooves very very well, I live in Oklahoma and the roads are not good to say the least and I've been really impressed on how the suspension performed.

Here you go and if there's any specific part that anyone need a picture for, just let me know.

Awesome! Happy to hear that. Thanks!

Speaking of pictures, could you take a few night time shots of the LED lighting?

The LED lights are incredibly bright,
First picture is Low Beam
Second is High Beam
Third is low beam
Fourth is Low Beam with cornering light

Notice the difference between the 3rd and 4th picture because cornering lights work different than before. The lights doesn't swivel, as soon as you turn the steering wheel in one direction, the fourth light on that side comes on and when the steering wheel goes back straight it turns off.

Wow, what a gem of a car! The black roof and white paint is very sharp. So are shift paddles standard on all models?
I hope your neighbors thank you for beautifying the street. =)

Did you have to adjust the triple LEDs up or down at all or did it come aimed correctly? How do they compare when driven next to other cars with LED headlights? What is your impression of the automatic high beams?
