I saw Silver GS on the road today, it looks amazing. Pictures don't justify the beauty of it.
This ES will be no different.

WIsh it had dual projectors like the first gen.

With the hybrid coming this is going to sell like hotcakes. I wonder will it outsell the last gen which had the ES best selling year in 2007.

Pretty nice imo. So we can pretty much guess what the next LS is goin to look like since the ES is always been a baby LS.

with bi-xenons I don't think you'll see dual projectors around again.

old H4's look like crap to me too... but you can see the pattern here... CT looks the worst... then ES... then GS has problem solved and LS is perfect, when it comes to the lights.

toyota is actually good with using projectors on their cars, especially in Europe... for instance, VW is really bad there.

Yes it will. Currently the ES outsells the IS. With the ES hybrid coming as well the ES will...actually dominates in it's class. Too bad Infiniti discontinued the I35...

Back in 2007 Lexus sold 82,867 ES's. I'm sure one of these years Lexus could beat that year 2007 amount which will soon include the ES hybrid.

I'd be curious to see how ES sales will grow in China since they'll get the ES 250, ES 350 and and ES 300h...

Good points everyone.

I wonder will they raise the base price to 39k or try to hold prices like the GS?

Hybrid version may have ( or will have) dual projectors or triple projectors in LED form.
