My only concern now is what cool options I'll be able to get in the base cloth model.
This is an awfully quiet forum. Doesn't anyone have anything to say about this new car?

The harsh reality my friend is with cloth car there probably wont be much offered as options coming with the vehicle.
The psychology behind that decision is that the buyer into the luxury market segment who doesnt even want leather seats probably does not want anything else int he car except the car to come by itself. This is probably the true base vehicle lexus will offer with cloth seats and not a spec of any other option. So, with that being said - they will pump it out just like that.
Though i see your concern with leather seating, I am actually baffled lexus would even consider offering it with cloth as a starting base car.

For cryin' out loud. The ES350 won't be made by Lexus with cloth seats and Mark Levinson in their build.
However, all you need to do is SPECIAL ORDER one the way you want it, wait 3-4 months, and get the car you want. No one needs to make this more complicated than it is.
Let me know if you can't get your local Lexus dealer to help you.

[QUOTE=Shred]Lexus says "The all new Lexus ES goes on sale in April. Although prices have not been finalized, it will represent the best value in the entry luxury segment."
Yes, Lexus says the ES will be the best VALUE. Not the best PRICE.

I did that the last few years trying to get Toyota to put cloth seats in a V6 XLE. I did find that they couldn't do it mainly because they couldn't switch the seats from leather to cloth because the XLE V6 had not been crash tested with them , and that it was against the law for them, as a dealer, to put different seats in.
So I want to find out if I can get a basic base model with the Mark Levinson System at all. It's not listed as a package only item it's listed as a separate item.
Some here are speaking that the base cloth model like it will be a wooden soapbox derby car!
It's still a Lexus ES with far more features than most cars out there, so It's still worth buying.
I'm really glad I waited this long to get a car because now I can get a true luxury car.
If I can't get a really nice sound system or navigation system I can always figure out some aftermarket solution.
My only other choice for a car is the 2007 Camry LE and the Lexus will be a way nicer car than that.
This might be the nicest car ever offered in cloth.

I HATE the way leather seats feel, they make me hot. I will never buy a car with leather seats.
Even the ventilated ones I don't like.
I don't like them, no reason to go on about this.

Hmmm, I live near Norfolk and whenever I look at thier headquarters I see all these premium cars parked in the reserved slots. Expensive luxury cars. Cars that have leather.
I'm gonna go over there next week and snap some pics.
What do you expect from such a hypocritical organization whos founder denonces animal medical testing yet uses insulin from animal sources because "I need my life to protect the animals".
