Cool New ES

I've heard things about the redesign for the new ES 300, but not much. I know it will be larger and probably have more options. Lexus want's to set it further apart from the IS now that it has arrived. If knows of anywhere where there are pictures I'd love to see them.

Default New ES300 pic

A salesman has this pic as the possible new ES300 at:
http://www.elitelexus.com/lexuses300.html

I am very curious about what it will look like as well.

cricket:

If you look closely at the license plate of that car it says "MARK II" which is another model in Japan. In fact the MARK II in the pic you linked is running on Japanese streets already. In Japan the ES300 is called "WINDOM." It should look very similar to the pic I posted.

Who's that salesman?

I think it's going to be hard keeping up with Acura TL. Think about the quality of the ES300 compared to the TL. You pay for that fine detail and quality. If the TL is not slapped together here in the US then its price will go up as well, losing the advantage.

Fortunately for Acura they decide to make the TLs here in US where alot of people doesn't know the difference between domestic built cars and Japanese/German built cars (if everyone knows, then Ford and GM will go out of business.)
