Is the 07 ES sporting 17's or 18's

 

17" Wheels.

in the 32k range yes. Exterior doesnt look good at all.

New one looks much better outside, it looks more premium. I also think it looks as luxurious as IS or GS inside as well...

 

I think the new ES interior looks more luxurious than the IS350 interior from looking at the hi-res pictures. It looks to have the same higher grade plastics on the dash & doors as the GS. Those in the IS is lower grade.

 

i would agree. by just looking at pics, i say the es has closer interior feel and quality to the gs than the is.

of course, we all have to see the real thing

 

excellent car, lexus lineup is a totally new beast once the LS460 comes out to complete the sedan redesignment. Even tho the ES isnt suppose to be sporty the long shifter exposing a bar of chrome looks very strange, they could at least shorten it, seems outta place

more wood doesnt mean better, why would the passenger be looking straight at the dash ahead, the center console looks 100x better than before , im sure the passenger would rather be looking at that. The dashes should draw attention to the center console which this new design does.

 

Is it true the new 07 ES shares camry and avalon platform? I think iread that in one of the posts a member posted.

Is it true?

 

Camry is the base platform. Avalon is a streched version of it. ES has always been Camry based.

 

it uses avalon chasis I believe, it is easily seen in the car lines, with unique suspension, powertrain and interior...

 

Can you denote exactly what is "easily seen in the car lines"?

When I see both cars at a distance, I see how more streamlined and the ES is especially in the C-pillars. I see how the vertical body lines hug more, and is not so flat like the Avalon, nor does it try to push itself stylistically (no flared fenders). I see a front end in the ES that is F1 inspired, with its "nose", not some rubbermaid piece reminiscent of the 97' camry. I also see a rear that has minimal trunk overhang, to make it seemingly look like a hatchback of sorts for that sporty demeanor. Sorry, but to me, nothing blurts out it's Avalon origins.

 

That ES/GS pair up pic looks great, although I think the ES looks best in its intro color, Ruby Red Metallic:

 

There really is no Avalon chassis, the Avalon, RX, Highlander, ES are all Camry based

 

not to get off topic but the 3.5 is used in all the Toyota/Lexus sedans what about the Solara

 

Rumor has it that the current 2nd Gen Solara which is based off the 5th Gen Camry will be the last.

 

ah.... sad...... but seriously i have never cared that much about solara (sorry flip )
