My dealership only has one IS loaner, but I have yet to get it. I've gotten ES350's and GS350's in the past. The last 3 or 4 times I've had the RX Hybrid. Actually had it for almost a full week when they did the recall work
I got an ES350 once and it had cloth interior. The service guy who gave it to me, wasn't my normal guy. But this guy told me that ES had cloth because it was strictly a loner ride.
I was buggin out when I saw it. The cloth really made the car feel cheap.
I'm going in next week for the first time to get some tsb's and recall work done...hmm I wonder what I'm going to get?!?!?! I hope to try the new 2010 RX....
My dealer (Keyes) has a dozen RX hybrids and one ES. I've requested the ES every time and they refuse to hold it even with an appointment. I want to sample the 3.5 V6 and see what I may be missing with my IS250. Otherwise, the RX hybrids are decent even though I am not a SUV person. These are good samples to test out for the rest of my family, who has SUV's.

The 3.5 V6 in the ES is much less powerful than the one in the IS350. 34 fewer ponies, mostly due to less sophisticated fuel injection.
My dealer give you a choice of IS (IS250AWD only), ES or RX.
