Base 33-34K
semi-loaded 35-36K
very well loaded 38K
Fully loaded 41-42K (WITHOUHT PC system)
Fully loaded with PCS sysytem (43-44K)

Enhanced safety features include driver and front passenger knee airbags, a direct type tire pressure monitor system, VSC with traction control. Plus options abound: leather seats with lexus memory system, glass roof, power rear sunshade, heated and ventilated seats (MOST of these will be included in a new ultra luxury package)

Before the unveiling, can you give us any word on whether the ES will have luxury features and options above and beyond the IS?

I don't want to be dissapointed with the ultra lux package merely having the same options/features as the IS.

Well theoretically all L-Fineesed sedans are derived from the LF-S concept, some more so than others.

Technically, the LF-S concept hinted at LS, GS and ES styling cues, while the LF-C concept hinted at the IS and possible IS coupe.

Seeing as the LS is the flagship, the LF-Sh hinted at the "top dog" hybrid V8 model, and previewed the LS design. Logically, Lexus would be doing more for it's flagship compared to other models.

I agree. Hopefully, the marketing isn't as lame as it appears

I'm hearing 272 Hp but no need to quibble...

as long as the new 6 speed auto is silky smooth as predicted. 60 degree V6 but without the direct injection of the GS/IS. Should be able to accept lower octane with less output in power. Should have the dual VVT-i. Has a longer wheelbase= more luxury and more space. New Bluetooth II, Gen 5 Nav and backup camera. It's all good...RX350 next shoe to drop, then on to the GS450h and GS350's.......
