Same experience here, early on....except by now when I do have a (rare) LS sighting, I think it's an ES for a second

Becoming like a reverse "halo effect."

I'll state my bias right up front: I just bought one of these. But I didn't like its looks it because i bought it; I bought it because I liked it.

Funny you said that. I was at the dealership today walking alongside an this beautiful Atomic Silver car and had to walk to the rear to see which model car this was?? It was an ES indeed. I also thought it could have been an LS.

Very nice.
ES's touch sensitive screen is so smooth and slick compared to the mechanical push buttons on my GS.

Aging ES sales doing well with 45k+ units last year.
Aging 5 Series doing well considering its price with 24k+ units last year.
Aging E Class also doing well considering its price at 20,000+ units.
Only all new G80 is disappointing with only 6k+ units in its first full year, and the first full year normally registers the highest sales figures.

Saw a ES300h yesterday. Sadly, in a sea of all crossovers nowadays, the ES sedan kinda looks outdated. I’m wondering if eventually we will see the ES discontinued. I read Toyota is moving production back to Japan.

The photos of the "Camry" look the same as my ES300h Limited (in New Zealand). I think it's the same as USA Ultra Luxury version. ie fully loaded.
