Shocked at how well my new 2008 ES350 performs in the snow
I purchased my car back in August and I don't drive it very often in the winter but the other day my winter car was being used by my son so I drove the Lexus in a pretty good amount of snow and I was amazed how well this car handled. Another pleasant surprise. By the way this was my first venture into the world of entry level luxury and I must say I am really enjoying this car. I just wish I would have waited till winter to purchase. I received $2,500 off MSRP and now they are offering $5,000 off all in stock vehicles. Oh well.

Several of our Canadian members mentioned good snow performance as well, 07 model.
I got a call yesterday evening from a dealer, and I could tell they are wanting to move some/discounting them.
I believe to make up for last quarter drop in sales.
On the bright side, you have had the use of it longer than newer buyers, so look at the $$$$ difference as a small price to pay for as many months as you have had it.

I have been very impressed with my 350 in the snow. Even though the Turanza's are hardly agressive, I have not had any issues though the half dozen winter storms we have seen in Denver so far this year. I have made it through as much as 10 inches of loose snow and have not seen the traction light come on very much at all, unless I was fooling around to test the limits.
