I do have to wonder, realistically, will the traditional ES market be able to like this. Its much more stylish, they are saying it drives sportier and will they like the new dash layout/remote touch etc? It makes complete sense by Lexus has the new technology manager position now, to help customers.

ESh seems to be the ideal daily driver.

I think the new ES will be received well by the traditional ES buyer. I remember when the current gen came out as an '07 a few people on the ES forum thought the engine was too loud. the ride wasn't as cushy as before and it wasn't as comfortable as the ES330. That didn't last too long and it was business as usual with the ES350.

Lexus has the best videos to show off their cars. The ES video is pretty good:

And here's a couple for the GS that I like:

And the CT:

Can't wait to see someone put the first F-sport badge on the ES

i like this new ES a lot. i never liked the ES, but this one's great looking. Maybe because in my eyes, it looks completely different from a camry.

I like it, got to see it in person at the NY auto show. Not that big of a fan of the GS though and they had all variants of the car. Would prefer ES based on looks alone, also curiously waiting what the new LS is going to offer.

Makes you wonder if there will be F Sport parts for this generation sometimes. Springs would be awesome since the body roll is always an issue with the ES

Great commercials, the CT was a blast!! Lexus has done extremely well with both the ES/GS/CT designs. Can't wait to see what is in store with the LS. I'm happy to see that Lexus is stepping up their presence in the marketing world.
