Holder in the older ES is not padded on the sides or the top.

Yeah I remember that from my ES300 and ES350, just a rubber like pad in the face of the sunglass holder.

But at least there was a sunglass holder!

I'm sure Genesis and others chasing the comfort cruise crowd helped speed this along too.

How do you think the 2016 es350 rides compared to the 5th gen es350 ? Does it handle bumps in the road as well as the 5th generation did?
