An updated version of this car will be included, with slightly greater all electric range and horsepower.

I really don't need a ES350, but I told him that I would buy the car from him if he decided to go that route. He came to his senses !!! Toyota/Lexus is really the only cars that I would recommend buying to a friend or family member if they intend on long term ownership. The cars being built today have a \"planned obsolescence\" by design. Toyota is the only company that is building cars that will provide 20+ years of worry free reliable driving with only maintenance items being a concern.\r\n\r\nI wish Mercedes-Benz stayed on that course, but profit driven motives have both positive and negative repercussions.
