I'm willing to be that it is. But I was positing that Lexus make all ES's hybrids. They have proven with the HS that a full hybrid doesnt have to have comprised trunk space. If the offered say an ES250h maintaining current price point and than an ES400h for those willing to spend more and want more.
But the HS doesn't have folding rear seats so you'll need a second car if you want to take your skis/snowboards up to the mountains. I do agree though that an ESh lineup would work. It's not like people buy ESs for handling; that's what the IS is for.
