I love the new grill, headlights, foglights, and the taillights. Do you think the new interior looks more luxurious than the new GS's?

I felt the same way before. But now I actually like these big headlights. It would look too much like a Camry if they made the headlights smaller. IMO.

Nice! I agree that this has a nicer interior than the forthcoming 3rd gen GS. Love the projectors...I'm glad they've made their return since being abandoned after the 96's. If they're adaptive-variable, that will be an added bonus. Huge thumbs up for the steering wheel audio controls--I used to think they were a gimmick until I drove an '04 RX 330 loaner that had them. New tails are nice, too, though I find nothing wrong with the 02-04 style.

I was hoping to see some new wheels, perhaps in a 17" size--maybe they will be optional, or available as part of a SportDesign package.

I think the ES is evolving to become a mini LS430 with the lavish dosage of wood and the addition of the other goodies. It has a decidedly more luxury flavor than the new GS and IS. I can't wait to see how luxurious the next (2007) ES will be.

Haha.. Just kidding.. I think the new touches look good

At the rate they're improving, pretty soon it will say Hyundai on it.
And I am NOT kidding.

Amazing, isn't it, 1SICK, how fast we can turn into a senior citizens with an interior like THAT?
