Default new ES owner, don't like control ergonomics

Wife just purchased a 2013 ES350 Prem Nav..... So now I have a good reason to troll CL again! Yay! So, whud I miss?

Got rid of her 2012 Durango (finally) and convinced her that she needed to be driving a Lexus again.

Congratulations on the new ES.

Got rid of a 2012 Durango, though, and you say finally? How can you say "Finally" when it is barely a year old....or maybe 18 months at most? She must not have liked it very much.

I like how sporty the new ES looks.

I don't know how she could have been driving a durango. I had one of those for a rental and I thought the thing was going to fall apart.

Nebula is a medium to light gray (dark pic above). I really miss the richness of Smokey Granite.
Congrats to the OP and welcome back, whoever you may be!

Thanks everyone! The only thing she is frustrated with is the radio/sat/nav features of her Durango vs her ES. The Durango had all sorts of features that her Lexus MAY have but so far she can't find.
