I was just looking through youtube, and i chuckled at the end of this video clip after hearing what the fat guy said.

the video itself is pretty retarded, especially with the prepubescent kid commentating.

Further proof that the ES is NOT a sports car.

Whoever drives it wanting it to become one is truly misinformed...

I agree. There is so much automotive information available in print and online, anyone buying one thinking it's going to be a sports sedan, has only themselves to blame if they buy one and are disappointed. It's an entry level luxury sedan and does that job just fine, with competitive straightline performance and class leading gas mileage and comfort levels.

That's exactly what it is... you said it perfectly. Can't imagine anyone claiming its a sports car. Besides young kids who buy an old used ES and add aftermarket parts to soup it up, lower it, wheels, etc. In their world it might be...

What the fat guy meant was that the ES350 is good for what it is..... a cushy family sedan, and an improvement over the ES330.

Did you hear the driver say "whats up with that?" I believe that is his reaction to the tranny being confused. It sounds horrible as he takes his foot off the gas after a hard push. But, it is what it is.

By the way, we now know what Lexus does with their buybacks....
