Well forum members someone hit my car with a shopping cart and put two parallel dent's in my front fender without having the honesty to leave a note. My insurance covered 95% of the cost so it was not a financial impact. The biggest impact was spending a little over a week in a "new" Chevy Impala rental car. On our forum we hear people complain about issues with our cars such as seats, not being fast enough or handle like a BMW, but I can tell you getting back in my UL with ML from the Impala made me appreciate my car. Lets appreciate our ES's for what they are and not what they are not. I'm again reminded of what a great car this is for the money, after two years my car still has no squeaks and rides as smooth and quiet as the day I bought it which is more than I can say about the other cars I purchased in the past.
So forum members, lets not forget about the great things of this car or get lost in the minor things that this car is not.
Cheers to us all for choosing a great car for what it "is".

You are right. I have a 2011 Impala LTZ and there is quite a bit of difference. The only thing I miss on the Lexus is the standard remote start on the Impala. You would think that it would be a standard on every Lexus. Been carping about this for years......
