The hybrid will be more expensive without a doubt. Look at every other Toyota/Lexus product with a hybrid option...when has the Hybrid ever been cheaper?
My guess is $38k base for the gas one, $41k base for the hybrid. Fully loaded the 350 will be $46k or so, the hybrid right under $50k.

If we look at what the engine choices are for the Camry for 2012 and discount the base 4 cylinder as not being apropos in the North American Market for the 2012 ES you find this:
2012 Base MSRP for 2012 Toyota Camry:
Camry XLE V6 - $30,115
Camry XLE Hybrid - $27,500
So the 2012 Camry Hybrid with the same power plants as the 2012 ES is priced some $2600 less than the corresponding V6 version. I believe there will be a comparable gap with the 2012 ES300 and ES350.

There is no 4 Cyl version of the ES to compare though.
We'll have to wait and see, but I'd bet you money on this one.

If anything, this is the least Camry-ish ES ever.
