2009 Es350
For me to consider another ES350, I will want to see the following changes / additions to the model:
Standard satellite radio integrated from the factory - just subscribe and go
Standard remote start system integrated from the factory
New acknowledged transmission recalibrations or new design
All wheel drive option would be icing on the ES350 cake
Diesel engine noise upon start up deleted

As for the transmission - from what I was told, the transmission that are going into the current cars are in fact physically different (in terms of their internal components) than those that were being put into '07 and early '08 cars. I was told this by the managing service tech at my dealership who has been working with me for the last year or so.

This was told to me directly from Lexus Corporation.

...but heck, maybe he's wrong - I have never taken them apart to examine their insides yet so I can't verify the differences.

Same transmission yes, in that they're all still the 6 speed we all came to love so much. The current ones are suposedly physically different in their internal components compared to those of before.
