The ES300h ultra luxury with all options except ML radio and triple beam headlights MSRP is $52,655. In a normal pre-Covid world if I could get 10%-15% off a steal IMO.
Wonder if the ES300h F Sport maintains its 0.26 drag coefficient vs. the ES350 @ 0.29.
Edit: it does. wow even with the larger wheels.
Though I'm still "sus" at Lexus over the specs. All ES hybrids are rated same MPG. I doubt that's the case due to the wheels likely having vastly different weights between 17" and 19". Same goes for 0-60. Just going from 17 to 18 premium wheels, I can feel my ESh is slower and gets less mpg by about 3-4 mpg. lol the 17" model is a performance superstar.
Probably some loophole where Lexus doesn't have to certify individual trims? I don't know. just speculating. These are the kinds of things I think about!
This is the spec i'd do. simple. ES H F Sport. blue/red w/ triple beams, key gloves, trunk mat. Honestly not crazy about the wheels. wish they had some sporty machined finish. gloss black looks kinda cheap. but i'd live with it.
