I just joined the Club Lexus Forum.
My new ES350 has been ordered last month and now I haveto wait for a December delivery.
My question is;
The demo I drove has outside mirrors that tild down when the car is put in reverse. I can't find this feature described anywhere in the brochure. Is this standard on all ES350's ?

I agree. It is included in all of the option packages.

You must have custom ordered if you're having to wait until December. Is this an UL model that you've ordered?

I ordered my R.Red/Black UL July 12. I am *hoping* that it will finally be in by the end of this month. It seems that Canada is getting very few of the ES350's. My dealer has a list of people waiting a mile long. The last time I asked there were 129 people who have put a deposit down on one.

it tilts down if the have the mirror switch at left or right position. If you leave it at middle position, it will not tilt when reversing. This is a nice feature because you can see the curb when you parallel park.

My goodness, you are a patient man! Come on down to Virginia....my dealership has several.

But for the mirrors, I typically leave mine in the neutral position. Don't need the mirrors to tilt every time I put the car into reverse. But it is a nice feature when parallel parking.

I just ordered the base car in Smoky Granite and grey interior with the opional moonroof wind deflector and trunk liner.

Due to the limited availability, one can't get a penny off the suggested retail price.

Oakplank-
i have the ruby red with the light grey interior. The ruby red is a beautiful color. I've had many compliments on the car and the color. I'm sure that you will enjoy it!

Oops!
It wasn't OAKPLANK who ordered ruby red, it was Vandam. Sorry!
I see that OAKPLANK ordered smokey granite mica. Everyone who has that color loves it! I'm sure you will too.
