As someone who spends most of my time driving up dangerous country roads i refuse to own RWD since the weather is so unpredictable here. RWD just doesn't make sense in a place where its wet/slick/snowy/icy/unpleasant 80% of the time. Plus i spend so much time stuck in traffic jams that i just want to be comfortable in my miserable drive home, but when i hit those country roads when they're dry, i love to toss my car through the curves and i'm glad Lexus has tried to inject a bit more driving pleasure into the ES.

Only thing I don't like a lot is the traditional shifter. As mentioned above it takes up valuable space that could have been used for more storage or another cup holder.

The back of this car is just simply awsome. Proportioned, nicely trimmed and cut.
I was never a fan of the ES but this just kills the 4GS in Looks

Great job Lexus. I saw the Vossens on it but would be cool to some other nice wheels on it as well.

I'm going to stick my head out and say they could have done better with the dash. It looks a bit busy, sharp-edged, chunky, and there are too many horizontal angles stacked ontop each other. None of these angles or shapes match, which prevents a central theme from forming. Also, the main wood strip doesn't fill the entire plain it sits on.
A little more flow, softeness, and simplicity would have better matched the slick new exterior. Still love the car though.
