I like this blue paint, not as dark as the blue onyx, it's close to the Indigo Ink on the SC430 but seems to be slightly lighter(somtimes it's hard to tell on pics), is that the Indigo Ink or a new paint color for Lexus ?

I doubt it. Already have a Subaru Forester that actually trumps this glass roof.

I see the new ES requires premium gas.

I like it, two thumbs up!

Now let's see...all that's left is redesigning the SC and LX eh?

I'm sure it'll run just fine on 89 octane.

You can keep the sun roof, I'd never open it anyway.... Too much wind noise and I'm either on the phone or listening to the radio.

I love it. The Blue looks awsome. Looks like Blue Onyx to me though. Whats that new wierd color on the previous page?? Should have added that daring color to the IS instead.

I was expecting a few more options on the ES though. Pretty much identical to the IS and GS feature wise. No mention of the AVS suspension making it back this year again. Probably was such a slow seller that it doesnt make sense. That rear seat is roomy as hell though. Those complaining about rear seat room can look at the ES. You'll find more than enough. Pano roof is a nice touch, needs to be an option on the LS as well.

I like the interior now considering that we have better pics, but I still think it could use more wood. Maybe we are all just spoiled from the Rolls Royce amount of wood that was available in the current ES330. Either way, the consumers will love this model. p: Lexus.

Looking at the specs on the pressroom page it says XM or Sirius will be dealer-installed. Once again Lexus has failed to add this as factory-installed, even though XM keeps saying it will happen with 2007 Lexus models. What a shame that such a nice car will have that tacky added-on antenna instead of a proper roof-mounted fixed antenna.

Lexus, if you're reading this, get with the rest of the industry and have satellite radio come from the factory with a fixed antenna!!! Look at your competition...Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Acura, etc. have factory satellite radio and/or roof-mounted antenna!!!

IMHO...The 2007 ES 350 screams Toyota when it comes to looks. It’s neither elegant nor aggressive. It's very "plain Jane." The interior is OK, but what's wrong with the wood trim on the center console? Why does it slant towards the driver?

Blue Onyx is darker, I' ve seen it in person, it won't look as light as that even under the sun. It's closer to the Indigo Ink for the SC430 (my second favorite color for the car), though I can't be certain it's the same just from pics.

i don't know why, but i really like the new es. keep in mind, i don't like the current generation at all, i think it looks pretty ugly. but the new one i think it looks very elegant, very nice! i especially love the new roof, that's awesome man. and the interior is better than ever imho, very clean and i love it

god, maybe this could be the reason to get the es
