Looks great. Congrats. I like the black border around the windshield. Makes the car look really sleek and premium. nice design touch i never noticed.

Looks great - is the speedo digital only? I though there was way to change that as with the FSport.

What about the HUD, what do you think about it? Can you see it clearly during a sunny day?

Car looks great! I just picked up my 2019 ES350 UL in white a few weeks ago.

Have you noticed that the navigation system shows less street name detail as your previous lexus? My previous model was the 2016 ES350 and the nav showed a lot of street detail as compared to this model. I pointed this out to the salesman and all he could say is I am right.

I can barely see HUD with polarized glasses even with full brightness. But, about 50% brightness is more than enough without glasses on a sunny day.

Congrats...white with black pano roof looks awesome!

Never noticed fewer street names...I barely use built in nav. The only time I use is for return route using bread crumbs.

Are you sure that you are comparing the maps in the 2016 and the 2019 with both zoomed in to the same level? When you zoom in further, you should be seeing more street names/detail appearing on the map. When you are zoomed out, there are fewer street names and details.

I did zoom in all the way and even clicked on the "micro city" feature on this model and still not near the detail. The technology specialist at the lexus dealership said that is the way the Gen 10 system was set up. Seems like a step back to me.

Both digital and analog.

Very nice!! I have a 2019 ES 300h in Atomic Silver and black. The Atomic Silver looks different (very cool) in different types of light.

You said you only waited 4 weeks? So I'm guessing it just came from another dealer and wasn't a special order. I had to special order mine. The dealer said 2-3 months to get a production date and delivery about a month later.

Mine was not a special order. Dealer had already ordered just a few ULs with most popular features....went thru' their order list and picked the one I wanted. That's why the wait time was only 4 weeks. They had plenty of F Sports and Luxury in stock and on order.

Several steps back or mistakes or cost cutting, including the horrible standard stereo explained elsewhere in this forum.

ML- mid range has improved from previous model. However, low and high frequencies sound little muffled. Bass is not quite deep and treble is not as crispy. Overall, not a happy camper.
Does the front passenger seat have the thigh support?

If you mean cushion extender, the answer is no. Only available on the driver's seat. It's standard on both the UL and the Lux. This is new for 2019, as it used to only be available on the UL.
