Welcome, Amy.
Hope you enjoy your membership here.
Since you're asking for questions, I've got one or two for you: any chance of Lexus bringing back the Amythist (dark purple or purplish-gray) color anytime soon? I last saw it on the Second-Generation SC430, but that model was dropped, and I haven't seen it on any other Lexus model-lines yet (though I may have just missed it).
I also ask because, among some other vehicles, I may (?) consider an ES for my next purchase or lease, and I'd especially like to see it on the ES. The ES, IMO, could also use an AWD option.....considering that even less-expensive sedans like the Ford Fusion and Subaru Legacy offer it.
