This imaginary ES wagon certainly looks OEM.

That looks very nice! It's too bad there isn't much of a market for wagons in the U S. Maybe in Europe?

They definitely forgot to add the typical Lexus wheel gap.

If they do a wagon tailgate, they may as well make it high riding too - the market is correct in regards to the popularity of SUV's.

A new Lexus wagon would be pretty cool.

Not bad....but IMO it would look a lot better (and probably ride a lot better) without the spindle grille and with some sensibly-sized wheels/tires. Those are awful.

Even with sensible wheels, though, I'm not sure it would sell in the U.S. Buick tried a similar Tour-X wagon several years ago, and dropped it for lack of sales. The First-Generation Toyota Venza (which was also a wagon with oversize wheels) didn't do particularly well, either. Neither did the Honda Crosstour. The Subaru Outback seems to be the only wagon in the U.S. that sells consistently.
