Smile Purchased New ES350 Yesterday

I took home my new ES350 yesterday...Dark Grey / Black Interior with Nav. I can't tell you how much I love this car.

I've driven SUV's for about 10 years straight now. I was more than ready to get back into a personal vehicle. I looked at lots of cars, but the ES350 was beautiful and I held out for it.

I put a deposit on this car several weeks ago at my Lexus dealer and brought it home straight off the truck yesterday. I have scrutinized this car inside and out...and it is perfect.

It was worth the wait! Tony

Congrats!

Yes, please post some pics. No one has yet posted pics of one with the smokey granite mica. Mine should be here in a couple of weeks.

BTW, where in VA are you?

Congratulations on purchasing your 2007 ES 350. You will enjoy many miles with your car. Happy driving.

To post pictures, first go to the Gallery section (it's at the top of this site) then on the right you will see upload photos. After you upload the photos, click on the photo after it was uploaded then right click onto properties. Copy the address. Go back to this post and click insert image. It take some practice. If you have any questions please feel free to ask...

Another way to post pictures, is to go through Imageshack. (this is the way I've always done it)
I'm not sure which way would be easier (using imageshack, or the way Trexus described above) but I'll explain how to use imageshack.

Go to www.imageshack.org
Browse/choose your picture, and click "resize image" (640x480 - messageboards)
Then click "host it"
Once the image has been hosted, a new screen will pop up with the picture, and a bunch of links (URL's) to the image.
You want to go to the very bottom link that reads "Direct Link To Image"
Copy that link/url, and paste it in your post.
Once you've pasted the link in your post, the only other think you have to do is type in the html code before and after the link.
You type: [img] before the link, and [/img] after the link.

(example: [img]PasteTheLinkHereBetweenTheTags[/img]
The link thats between the [img] & [/img] is the link you copied and pasted from imageshack

If everything works right, once you Submit your post, the link should pop up.
(It seems complicated, but its really not. One reason I find it easier to do it this way, is I open up about 4 imageshack sites (say u have a bunch of pictures), host all of them @ the same time, and just copy and paste the links...then repeat the process depending on how many photos you have.
I make it easier by copying the ([img] & [/img]) in the post while I wait for the images to be hosted. It all depends on how many photos you have, but this way you can just copy and paste and it saves a bunch or time)
(EX.)
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]

And then just paste the copied links inbetween the "html tags" above. (just make sure to remove any spaces between the pasted link, and the tags...)

Hope this helps! -CJ
PS: Yes please post pictures! I really want to see how the car looks in that color!

Default Smokey Granite Mica

Try these links...

they really don't do the car justice as I didn't use that great of a camera to take the pictures, but this is my Smokey Granite Mica w/ rims. I have the UL package. The only thing I don't have are parking assist and Adaptive Cruise Control/Collision warning system). It is MUCH better in person.

Your car looks SWEET!!!! Wow you must be a big ES fan with 2002 and 2007 ES'. I can only think of how much the ES has improved since our lovable 1993 ES (which was already fantastic).

Congrats again!

Looks great once again. Looks like someone wasted no time getting some new rims on it.

Your car is beautiful! I love the color! Do you know if the car behind yours in the second picture is the Moon Shell Mica? I'm dying to see what that color looks like.

My 2002 behind my 2007 is Alabaster. Almost a silvery-tan color. Some people think it's tan, some silver.

You have to see it to believe it. It's grey with a hint of rose or maybe even pink. NOT what I expected.
