pj8708 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Has anyone else seen or heard of this special ES350 - 2012 special edition? http://lexusenthusiast.com/2011/10/02/2012-lexus-es-350-special-edition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yes, I saw it at the DC auto show yesterday. It's basically just the ES with the wheels from the 10-11 UL model and a special saddle leather interior. Nothing incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little sparkle here a little color there, and a very special price I'll bet. A sad way to end a great models run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Actually no, it's equipped a lot like our cars but the price is like $40,800... They always do a little special edition the last year. It's no different than the sport model, the black diamond odel, the platinum or coach editions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj8708 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 OK, maybe I'm being too harsh. I'll withhold my judgement until I see it. (That way I can always say I told you so) ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Its nothing real exciting. If I were buying one today, I'd probably buy it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01lexpl Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The saddle interior alone would have me sold... Coupled with black chrome emblems. I've never heard of this though, just like the 02-06 apparently had a very very RARE option of coming as a 'sport design' [albeit nothing sporty about it...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The Sport Design wasn't that rare, I see them around. There was also a "Black Diamond Edition" in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 wasnt there some kind of limited in 2007 that included the panoramic sun roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah the Ultra Luxury model, not really a special edition. They still make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Guy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The saddle interior alone would have me sold... Coupled with black chrome emblems. I agree. I would like an alternative to the black interior but I do not find the pale beige or gray interior to be rich looking. Also, most of the loaners with light interiors look dirty to me. A saddle interior would be a nice change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I personally think the parchment interior is the richest looking out of all of the options on the 350. Came from years of black interiors, but the 350's interior is so stark trimwise up on the doors and high on the dash I think the black looks cheap...the parchment at least has the two tones to break up the door panels and dash. I like saddle interiors, but even that on the 350 looks cheap to me because the door panels and dash are still just black with no contrast. Mine has nearly 30k miles now and looks like new. I'd hope you'd keep your interior cleaner than a loaner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
