In contrast, I've been driving an ES for more than 22 years. Welcome to the club!
A Lexus old timer😁 Congrats.

This is a tough one for me. I have an Atomic Silver F-sport. I purchased the same side molding that you have, but have not installed it yet. I think it looks better w/o the molding, but I frequently need to squeeze into a "compact" parking spot. As soon as I get a door ding, I will wish I had put them on. I, for one, think you made the right decision.

How about door edge guards instead?? Lexus does a nice job with those color coordinated. Although I guess that won't protect against the fool that slam his door into yours

Mine came with the door edge guards which I didn't like but quickly noticed they are very useful. The kids just push the door open without looking at what they might hit.

I always get the 3M Door Edge Film on my vehicles. Good protection and hardly noticeable, and minimal cost.

Our local dealer had all the colors lined up so when we purchased our 2020 ES 350 Ultra we could see them all together. The color that stood out to us was the Moonbeam with Chateau interior a new color for 2019. Which seemed to accentuate the beautiful lines of the car as well as the chrome, black and gray details. The Château interior looks great with the Moonbeam. I think if the word beige was removed from the color it would make it psychologically more appealing. The color is mostly silver with a yellow/greenish tint at times. We’ve had many compliments on the cars color.Lighter colors age better and show less dirt. Being that we live in costal California we needed a cooler color.

Looks great at night

Looks silver at times

Richer looking than plain silver

I've seen the Chateau. I think it looks terrific. If it'd been available for my '22, I would have bought it.

I’ve seen Matador Red Mica in person and that color looks soooooo beautiful under the sun. It has excellent contrast with the chrome on the car and with the grill and panoramic sunroof. It looks even nicer with the palomino interior.

Not I. My ESh is grey, but i wanted the atomic silver and there were none available when i needed a car.

Don't get me wrong, the grey is beautiful when it comes out of carwash for about 10 minutes in my area.

Well I doubt I would drop 50k (or any amount quite frankly) on a car that wasn't the color I wanted.

The Matador Red Mica with Chateau or Palomino interior is indeed a beautiful and elegant combination. That is the color my wife wanted, but it was not available at the time with the château interior. Our previous car was silver with black interior, we just wanted something a little different.

I don't blame you for wanting something different. We've been driving white cars now for the last 6 years and black cars for an additional 3 years and we want to change to something different. The Red is a very elegant color with the Palomino interior. We will wait for this color combination that we want. Eventually, we will get it at some point in time before the 2023 model year comes out. If not, then we will get it as a 2023 model. We want to get exactly what we want if we are going to spend this type of money for a luxury Lexus. That's how we see it.

Its a subjective topic but I personally like the contrast of different elements on lighter cars. Also, car looks a lot cleaner without regular wash compared to dark colors. I had 21 hybrid lux in black and one of the reasons I sold it was that it always look dirty a few days after washing it. White or silver gets my vote.
