Having had Lexus vehicles with both the Nakamichi (in a 98 LS400) and the ML (In the ES and an 04 LS430) I think the Nakamichi was a significantly better system.

Have your ears checked! LOL :P

Just bought a 2008 ES350. The retention clip holes in the capet floor mats and all-weather mats don't line up with the holes in the floor of the car. I can't anchor the mats, is this normal?

You definitely got the wrong all weather mats from your dealer! They messed up.....have them changed.

you want scary??? LOL ;)

Thank you so much.

Are you trying to scare me? Well you did!! LOL :D

Too bad ground zero is still a pile of ruble. What happened to the work ethic we used to have? Now we need 5 inspectors for 1 light switch! Ha :)

One note (even though this may be obvious), the park sensors on the front are only on the corners of the bumper not directly on the front. So, if you are going straight into a parking space forward, don't wait for the sensors to tell you if you are close (I did hit a snow bank...but no damage). In the back, they are at the corners and directly in the back so it is OK. Just a note.

That was my biggest gripe about the ES's front parking sensors........they only have 2 on the corners as opposed to the GS and LS which have 4. I don't know why Lexus decided to eliminate the front center sensors in the ES, especially when this option is necessary for accurate parking determination. How much more would Lexus have to charge for 2 more sensors? Bad, bad, bad!!

As was said before, there is always a certain amount of discharge when everything is turned off, but if your battery is old this small drain can weaken it enough so you can't start the car. I would have the battery checked on a "load tester" to really determine if this weak battery condition is caused by this small discharge. This is the first step you should take before troubleshooting further.

Oh I know, I've seen the study data on the subject there is no question that they work.

This is interesting reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytime_running_lamp

The daytime running lights are not LEDs, they are the high beam bulbs at low power.

I'm not so sure they use the high beam bulbs at low power on the ES350, but I could be wrong??

P.S. I think they use the low beam lamps at low power.

I'll eat you all. :D

dc fish suggested we start a "Picture Association Game"..........so I'll start it.

In all honestly buick is making some really great cars. The Enclave is very well built for instance.

I was also impressed by the ad for the still unreleased, 2009 Lincoln MKS. It has some really cool features. I'm gonna look at it when it hits the market. :) http://www.lincoln.com/reachhigher/?intcmp...Higher_20080604

OK, FWIW:

I just came back from a 200 mile trip using my neighbors 2008 ES350. I did notice, on occasion, a slight flare between the 1-2 and 2-3 shift. The RPM on the tach registered a flare of no more than 200 RPM, which was no big deal, as far as I was concerned, and the owner told me that he was never even aware of it in the 2600 miles on the odometer.

So, in my estimation, this flare problem was never completely corrected in the 2008 models, and as I said before, IT WAS NO BIG DEAL!!!! ;)
