Wish I was that lucky. The area I live in the local & State PD love to pass out no front plate and tint tickets. It doesn't exclude meter maids too. Costs too much a month when the car is hard parked outside of permit offices every week.
Thanks for your greeting. I am in California . The state requires front license license plates. But I think the individual agencies, CHP, Sheriff, and police usually use a little judgement if the front plate is in a bad cosmetic area. But, don't get pulled over for speeding or other moving violation, they will sight you for everything.
The problem I have with my ES F-sport is that it does not go below 80 mph.
I hope you enjoy your ES. Your photos are beautiful.
We also sold a LS430 (2005) to buy our ES350. It was a tough choice going from the flagship to the ES but the styling and tech got us. It took about two days in the ES to know we made the right choice.

Yes, I had the same struggle. After having great experiences with 3 Toyotas, I bought a new 1995 LS 400. That was doing well until our house, cars and Harleys burnt down in the 2003 California wildfire. Well, of course, I had to replace it which is when I bought the LS 430. What a great car. To the day I sold it I believe it drove the same as the day it was new. My new ES F-sport does not drive as smooth as the LS, but I am loving the combination of sport and luxury. Glad to hear you are enjoying your ES. After I finish detailing my ES, I will attach a couple of photos. Why am I detailing a new car that looks perfect? I have a disease called "cars".
Hello all I’ve owned a couple of ES’ prior (2nd gen, 3rd gen, 6th gen, 7th gen) this being my favorite and most controversial ES, I figured it would be a good time to join the community.
I'm currently waiting for my special order in the same color. I love that Nightfall Mica.

As of the 2019 models, the ES 350 has a tad more rear legroom than the LS 500. Go figure

That's a pretty car! My wife preferred Nightfall Mica, and I couldn't disagree. It has a ton of depth, especially when polished! Had I seen it in the sun instead of the parking garage on a cold snowy day, I might be driving it today! Beautiful paint, but so is the Atomic Silver that my wife calls just another shade of grey. Ugh!
I'm from the Sultanate of Oman and I purchased my first Lexus which is 2019 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury in Oman the dealer calls the UL as (SIGNET)
I bought the car on 28th November 2018 and love it since day 1
The exterior color is Sonic Quarts which is a white pearl with Topaz Brown Semi-Aniline leather
The car is fully loaded with all the features available and I do believe some of these features are not available on US spec ES
New So Cal owner
Eminent White / Black
Ultra Luxury / Fully loaded
Took delivery early last week couldn't be happier. Comparing it to my 2006 GS 430 the leap in technology is astounding . Spent two days at the clear bar installer for a custom wrap with Sun Tech PPF , freeway protection at its best .
I have had the car for a month now and really love the way it drives. Makes the hour drive to and from work a pleasure. While I am having fun with the Mark Levinson stereo, I'm surprised how difficult it is to get more of a surround sound. Regardless of where I place the balance, it never truly surrounds you with music, it's a majority up front sound. Other than that, it's an amazing car. I will post photos shortly.
Picked up my new 2019 ES 350 just in time for Memorial Day weekend. I've put ~300 miles on it already, and so far so good! It is an Ultra Luxury trim, in Eminent White Pearl with the Chateau interior. I think the car has literally every option available:
Navigation with Mark Levinson audio package
Blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert, intuitive parking assist w/auto braking, rear pedestrian detection and panoramic view monitor
18" Noise reducing wheels
10.2" Heads up display
Panoramic glass roof
Triple beam LED headlights
Heated wood and leather trimmed steering wheel, windshield deicer, and fast response heater
Hi. Picked up a 2019 ES350 luxury pkg on May 1 - Nebula Gray Pearl w/linear espresso interior. Beautiful car and rides great, especially with the noise reduction wheels. Love the safety features. Since my last car was a 1998 Lexus ES300 that I’ve had since 2001, there is a lot to learn with the new one. Still, I hated to let the old one go. The only annoying issue I have the new one has to do with the seat position memory, which I’ll be posting in a different forum. Other than that, it seems like a great car so far.
Just took delivery of new 2019 ES350 F-Sport, Atomic silver and pretty much loaded. Racy red interior. I mean, this car is sort of wasted on this 72-year old.
Our second Lexus. Our first one was a 2006 IS250. Got too fat for the IS, moved up a notch to the ES so I can get in & out. Same salesman that sold us our IS250 sold us the new ES350.
You may have seen some of my postings on the My.is discussion board for the IS models. My handle on that site is What 'Is' Is.
Happy to be here. Now wading through the 'very user friendly' infotainment system. ;-)
