We leased a 2013 basic ES through my dads work until we actually purchased an UL... I liked it until it held all the heat and made you sweaty. So learn your facts buddy. If you buy a Lexus, it should have leather.

Lol, not buying it. You would have mentioned that you had an ES with nu luxe and replaced it with one with leather instead of saying you just looked at them with nu luxe. That would have made your argument stronger. Explains a lot.

We looked at several before getting the basic... I cant get over the feel... Especially when the Softex in my brothers Rav4 is nearly identical. The UL was a better deal with the Mark Levinson and panoramic sunroof, and the Semi Aniline leather was the selling point. We originally were planning to keep the basic ES, but the ES UL, was a world of difference with all the extra features.

This is starting to look more like a psychiatric evaluation. You seem to be doing a good job interviewing your patient doctor!

Best thread ever lol.......for the record nobody gives a **** about real or fake leather.....not a single person who has gotten into my Fsport said "omg you've got fake leather!" All they say is how comfortable the seats are. Ooooohs and aahhhhhs......sounds kinda gay

What do you all think about clear bra? Do you think it's worth it to get the front end Xpel'd for $1300?

Absolutely. The paint on these cars chips very easily, I have it on mine and will get it on all my cars going forward.

As a person who lived in Portland 5 years -- I'd say it would be a good investment for you -- as you and I know that Oregon uses gravel in the winter instead of salt.
