Hi folks, this is my first post.... but was here reading through all the posts since last December about this ES 300h, great stuffs, and thank you.
My wife and I compared both the ES 300h and the Avalon Hybrid Limited back to back.... two things that turn us away from the Avalon hybrid were the loose steering wheel and the rattle sound from the rear auto sun-shade. My wife noticed the steering wheel on the ES 300h feels a lot tighter than the Avalon, resulting in more control of the car.
So we decided to purchase the Lexus ES 300h, this was our first Lexus and our first hybrid car, but have to go through 7 1/2 hours of ordeal.........
We paid $42,200 + tax & lic with 1.99% APR for the 2013 ES 300h Luxury package in Nebula Gray Pearl, plus some other add-on, the dealer also gave us the all weather floor mats and two leather remote cases.
But anyway, thanks everyone for posting all the great information............................
My wife love "HER" new car.

Congratulations. Nothing like hitting the Hybrid ground running. First Hybrid is a Lexus... Was your first home in Malibu? 
. Welcome to the Club.
here's three pictures of the ES 300h, I have to reduce the size of those pictures so might not be clear.
