Very Dangerous because the ES330 hesitates when accelerating under emergency conditions. Accelerator is not directly linked to gas pedal, but rather runs through a computer that is apparently confused by extreme acceleration. It almost caused me to be involved in an accident two different times when I attempted to get out of the way of speeding drivers. Local dealer will do nothing saying 'it meets Lexus standards.' I definitely would not buy again. The ride is great. The look is great. What good is that if you, or a loved one, are killed in an accident?
