I think about it a lot and I think the biggest reason/explanation for a lot of our complaints is that our cars are based on the Camry. I think the 8ES would benefit from being based on the Crown which seems like a better/bolder and more durable/stout/luxurious base. Of course I haven't tested the new Crown out so I could be wrong but from what I gather, it's a bigger bolder and more stout platform. The ES needs to break away from the Camry. It's like birthed at the hip, or in chains. It doesn't make it a terrible car as the Camry is a good car, but it holds it back from being truly excellent. I imagine we'll start seeing 8ES news/prototypes somewhat soon. So we'll see!
I wouldn't mind an evolution of the 8ES, in terms of style anyway, just aesthetically smoother, less bumpy. Like the tail lights that stick out...makes for a bumpy surface. oh and the door handles... smooth it out. Like the new S Class. It got smoothed out.

Here’s a very trivial scenario but nevertheless at times annoying:
I go into the garage at night needing to open the trunk (without the key). I open the driver door but the overhead, door and floor lights are insufficient to illuminate the trunk release button (which is adjacent to the fuel lid release). I basically have to guess at its location, sometimes opening the fuel lid instead. GRRRR!

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I recall seeing it on the LS forums I believe, but despite having a fully loaded ES, I still have blank switches on the left hand side. Not a big deal, but it's just odd..

I absolutely hate the AC control toggles. They’re annoying and take forever to go to the lowest or highest setting. They feel like they are going to break if you go too fast. My 2020 Accord had a dial that you could spin very quickly. I liked that much better.
I also don’t like how long it takes the AC to come on when you hit the auto button. It can be annoying in Texas 100 and plus degree heat.
Other than those 2 things, I love my ES.

You can set the temperature by using the voice command.
Also, the AC can be sped up on personalised settings.

Not sure if this has anything to do with the adaptive suspensions or what but I've noticed a hydraulic type of sound when I shift from Drive or Reverse to Park. It's fairly faint but you can't unhear it once you do. Anyone know what this could be or have this "issue" too?

Hmmm toggle to 72 and make sure it's on AUTO. What more do you really need.
