Does anyone know the platform for the Lexus ES300 for the years 1990-1999? Thanks.

I have already checked there, and I didn't see any information regarding the platform of the ES300... any other suggestions?

When you say "platform" are you referring to the chasis (VCV10, VZV21, MCV20, etc.)? If so, those are found in the Wiki reference above each model's picture on the right.

If not the chasis, please define your usage of "platform."

A platform is the shared set of characteristics by a number of automobiles (for example, the Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable and Ford Windstar shared the Ford D186 platform in the 1990's).

Something that COULD help is that Lexus calls their platform for the Lexus LX450 the "Land Cruiser" platform.

Well, I dont know the exact name for the ES300s platform but ES300s from 94 until 99 share many parts with the Toyota Camry V6, Avalon, Solara V6, Highlander, and the Lexus RX300. I once heard that the third generation ES have as many as 95% of the same chassis and drivertrain parts with the Camry and Solara. But the 92-93 ES300s dont have anything to do with Avalons and Solaras but are still based on an earlier Camry platform.

94-01 ES is base on the - CAMRY PLATFORM

Every ES base is the camry platform. Or maybe the Camry base is the ES platform. Hmmmm...sneaky camrys.
