The famous Lexus dash display is there in all its glory in the ES and the controls are all nicely at hand. One little thing I appreciated was the placement of the trunk and fuel filler opener buttons on the dash instead of the armrest or door bottom. I just like them on the dash better. As for the stereo, well we're talking a 230-watt Nakamichi system with eight speakers so little more needs saying, except to say that this stereo is part of a pretty expensive package. More about that later.
Conveniences abound in the test vehicle.
The price will make life pretty sweet too, for folks shopping luxury cars. Those fancy headlights you see on the road with the bluish white light are called high intensity discharge and in the ES300 they automatically level. Now for that Nakamichi package. That explains the bottom line closing in on 37 grand.
