This is going to come up with the ES350 down the road as well.

That is one way of looking at it, the other is the original buyer paid for corrosion measures and seems in some cases did not get what they paid for as it was not applied to the vehicle.

For any automaker, extending warranties for vehicles as old as 13 years is certainly going above and beyond.

This is a great gesture!
I am sure Toyota has done the necessary cost benefit analysis taking into account # of vehicles still on the road, % of people who will take the buy back, etc etc. If this were say, the 1995-2000MY Corolla's, I don't think there would be such a response.
Its all about the bottom line.

Nobody is perfect, and it's silly to expect that from any automaker. Any other automaker, including Honda does not go to this level. Many 1990s Hondas have rust and corrosion problems, yet I don't see Honda extending warranties to vehicles that old.

Also do not know what will be done for ES350 owners down the road.
I do not know what Honda as you mentioned or any other manufacturer would do in this circumstance, but it is the ethical thing to compensate under these circumstances of premature rust through of something as vital as a vehicle frame IMO.

Frames and/or springs on vehicles should not be rusting through to point of failure in that time frame no matter whether a car maker is perfect or not. 2005 owners are upset over frame rust through though not sure what will be done for 05 owners not mentioned in this.

Yes it's the ethical thing to do, and I'm glad that Toyota is doing it. If Honda or any other automaker had done this, I would be giving kudos to them as well.
