Those tail lights are sexy, they should switch them out with 4 GS .

It looks a bit softer and melted and nothing like the GS which is a good thing. The car will have its own sales and not compete too much with the sportier and more luxurious GS. The ES looks like a Buick.

Yes the 4GS F-Sport front bumper is still bolder and sporty, but the problem is it doesn't match the conservative sides and rears. They either have to tone down the front or make the sides and rears more aggressive.

After looking at it again I have to say that the nose does work. I like the lines and am excited to drive them as new loaners next year

The car looks kind of funny here:



A bit of a snub nose look. The sides look painstakingly bland there. While the windowline and greenhouse on this car has a nicer shape, I think the GS is much nicer looking overall.

exterior to me looks way better than the 4GS! interior, not so much.

yeah i suppose they coulda made the sides/rear more aggressive and matched the front better, but i guess they just decided not to for whatever reason. The current Lexus sedans all have a pretty clean side profiles, may be they wanna keep with that in a way, although of course they don't have as aggressive of a front. I don't think the sides and rear of this new ES are any more bold than the new GS in relation to the front, so it's not like Lexus went all out with the ES or dropped the ball on the GS.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! This one is the best ES by far! Love the exterior, very LSish and interior is little bland but still has 4GS design elements. This one is going to sell!!! Hell, I might even consider buying one!

looks like coupe from some angles... this will steal sales from everything, especially HSD version.

Looks very good. Can we expect an ES350 F-Sport model?
