It wasn't an option list, just the order form itself....

I understood what you said the first time. My point was your comment makes no sense.....

L-Finesse is the new design direction for Lexus, so what would you have them do between now and five years from now if they don't apply it to the new ES (which they will)??

What difference does it make by sharing the same platform as the Camry?? And don't say "well it's FWD" because that has no bearing either.

He said however he cannot show me the pictures since they are internal use only photos for staff, etc. Although he told me to think of it as a mini version of the new LS. I was like . He said..yes - its a mid sized version of the new LS. He told me 2 new colors are being added and said the MSRP with ML audio and navi would make the car right at 42K absolutely fully loaded with additional features not currently available on the current model.

Thats what he told me. I dont know how much of that is true and coaxed up
No one has pictures. Not even dealers or general managers. Some dealers are trying to hook customers with mystic pictures and imaginary MSRP's. Colors aren't even 100% accurate yet. Lexus has said that this ES will have it's own "Ultra Luxury" option, it will be bigger than the GS & current ES, and will have the new corporate 3.5 liter V6.

Total crap. No 07 ES have been put on ANY port allocation. I wish some of these Lexus dealers wouldn't rely on desparate and false comments.

Where in the world did you get this info?

This we know:

The lower price of the ES is made possible by sharing a platform with the Camry. Change the platform, and you will loose the price advantage.

L-finesse isn't exclusive to RWD sedans. It's simply a design. Just like the GS, IS, & LS, the L-finesse ES will be similar, but have it's own identity.
