Default Lack of ultra luxury on Hybrids.
Whats with the lack of UL on hybrid models? Seems like they are special orders only at this point and I was informed they wont be coming in mass?

Supply and demand most likely.

UL's of both the 300 and 350 have always been rare.

I dont think its a issue of them being sold fast, they pretty much dont exist at all except custom orders.

I agree, it was really hard back in 2014 also when we purchased our es300h. We gave up and went with Luxury.

I'd like the ML audio system... It seems like most luxury dont come built with them.

I think more lux models are coming equipped with ML this year than in the past. Here's one at my local dealer: https://www.lexusofnaperville.com/Ve...-IL/3282349023

I agree that ES300h ULs are hard to find, but the local dealership happens to have one with msrp of 54,749. Also has heads up, triple beam headlamps etc.
