Most non-enthusiast car owners don’t know anything at all about cars.

I think many people know about FWD. those living in a snow belt region will almost overwhelming know. There is also the added issue with size and cost, very few RWD cars will match the interior efficiency compared to a similar size FWD. just look at a IS/GS vs a ES, the ES size and packaging is far superior. Look at the inefficient back seat of a G70 and tell me people won’t notice vs a ES350? Most older folks also know and will remember that FWD was a big selling point in the 80s....the younger folks do not remember this.

Not when it comes to RWD, but obviously there was enough of a demand for AWD for Lexus to make an AWD ES.

i'm sure the fact that the G70 is a FOOT shorter in length than the ES350 is more of a factor.

Well, it is luxury transportation for those people and it is not their priority to learn the know how. What matter is reliability and value.

This is a MDX thread, not ES, Buick, G70 sedan thread.

Interior Teaser. If you don't like the TLX you won't like this

How does this get a digital gauge cluster when the TLX doesn't?

Why does it seem to have the Honda/Acura pushbutton gearshift, AND a gearshift?

I think that's a wrist-wrest for the track pad, which is immediately in front of it.

I think you're seeing the palm rest for using the TrueTouch pad controller.

They should have just copied the e-tron shifter/palm-wrist pad

i think this looks significantly more cohesive and less busy/klingon-like than the tlx.
and screen gauge clusters are definitely going mainstream now.
