2010 ES 350
(1) Black / Black Interior (wife)
(2) Tungsten Pearl / Black Interior (me)
Otherwise, both vehicles are the same:
Premium Package
Heated/Cooled Seats
HID lights with AFS
Wood / Leather option
Bluetooth (phone calls and audio)
Navigation
Preferred Accessory Pack
XM Radio
All weather mats
We got a demo ES350 on Wednesday night to drive for a few days. For reference, we have owned several Lexus vehicles over the years (GS300, IS 350 and IS F). While some people may call the ES boring (especially compared to the IS F, for example), we both really appreciate the smooth, quiet, comfortable ride. After three days of driving one, we are very excited about picking-up our two new vehicles tomorrow (2.27.2010)
I like the USB connection for our iPods. Advantages of playing music via USB vs Bluetooth audio with the iPhone: Control music through Nav system and steering wheel, shows list on Nav.
On our previous Lexus vehicles, the name of the person calling you (synced our iPhone with car's address book) would only show when stopped . As soon as you would drive, the name would disappear. Although minor, it was a little annoying when you get an incoming call and try to guess who's calling. I have about 760 names in my address book, so I don't always recognize all phone numbers. Glad that is no longer the case!

Macpro....way to go. guess you can say double-dipping on Sat. I p/u mine( black sapphire) on 3/15...like your's prem plus but adding clear shield, tint, lip spoiler....I highly suggest putting the 3m produst--clr shield on the black one..eliminates all the chips on hood showing. can have it done away from deler.
just sold es330 - 04 week ago had since new...excellent car just time for new one.
congrats again.

Took your great advice and I'm having a clear-coated 3M Scotchgard professionally installed tomorrow (Wednesday) on both our cars. We are paying $325 x 2 cars for hood, fenders, mirrors, trunk luggage area, all 4 door edges. The same person installed it on my IS F, so I know he will do a great job!

great to hear on clear shield...having it done like you hood..mirrors.side front fenders...have bumber applique coating below trunk area so dont think its neccessary there but going to see how much extra for door edges..good idea. was quoted 275.00 for work. were you overall satisfied on how it worked as far as minimizing chip issue. good luck.
A friend waited several months after he purchased his car, drove often on the freeway and got a few chips.

macpro, congratulations on the new cars. That's a nice fleet you have. I have a 2010 and hadn't considered getting clear bra on it, but this discussion has caused me to rethink it.

New ES 350 on March 15, 2010
Peridot Mica (green)/parchment
Nav Package, etc
Great car, very enjoyable driving experience with it. Checked out Acura TL and Lincoln MKZ and the ES 350 was the best.

2010 30 April
Picked up the wife's new Matador Red/Parchment ES 350. Nav, HID, Parking Assist, Wood trim and net/trunk mat. Made the dealer take the locking lugnuts off and put regular ones on. They were surprised. Funny, the lot guy had trouble getting one of the locks off! Exactly why I tossed them!
Car is really nice. The wife hasn't even had a chance to drive it
Took the 1.9% financing. Hopefully, the interest rates on our savings account will go up to more than 1.9% in the next 5 years.
