Congrats! Have a great trip! Pretty huge upgrade from the ES...

 

Taking it on road trip as soon as you get it. That's what I call bonding with the car. Road trip from Alabama to Key West would be an awesome ride in the LS.

 

The 2010 ES350 was my wife's "old" car. When we got her 2013 GS450h last November, I traded in my 2007 LS460 (it was worth more than the ES plus with the LS facelift, was at risk for a bigger depreciation hit (I think) if my replacement took a long time to acquire). I just about cried real tears the day I turned in my LS and she tossed me the keys to the ES. The whole exercise was actually a step down for me followed by a return to my beloved LS.

Curiously, I came to appreciate the ES350's nature over the 9k miles I put on it. Reasonably comfortable, reasonably peppy, reasonably agile, reasonably attractive - in short, reasonable. Now however, I can shuck that unwelcome veneer of reasaonableness and indulge my every whim in sumptuous luxury, outrageous acceleration, lateral g's to die for, and a wake of gaping jaws. YEE-HAA - I'm back!

 

Yeah the ES is a great car, I had two, a 2003 and the 2010. When you're not comparing it with the GS and LS its a very enjoyable, classy, comfortable car. In fact, until the 4GS I always much preferred the ES to the GS.

Makes more sense that you're a previous LS owner! I always figured I would wind up in an LS eventually, it was my Dad's LS's that got me into the brand, but I dunno if I'll ever be able to bring myself to spend $85k Bearing in mind that I spent about what he spent for his first LS on my GS. They keep moving my cheese!
