Wasn't sure since i was always under the impression that all lexus are rwd and fwd are reserved for Toyotas.. Just like nissan and infiniti.. However infiniti is beginning to introduce fwd but not in it's sedans.. I think one of their family van is fwd.. Surprised lexus has this on their sedan.. Also i didnt do any burnout and when i saw the engine placement, i was still thinking maybe awd when i saw the manifold towards the front..

Well, you said you "abused it a little", which to me, means you got on the gas. If so, it's pretty obvious that it's FWD. If it wasn't, maybe your loaner was actually an LS.

Dealers generally don't do LS loaners.

Infiniti has a history of FWD also the I30 was FWD, and the QX60 now is a transverse FWD car.

The ES shares a platform with the Toyota Avalon.

I also mentioned nothing drastic.. Mostly wot, sorry, i don't do doughnuts on the streets and again no burnouts.. And yes it was an es350.. I didn't drove it that much since i was already missing my isf.. I was impressed at the suspension though.. Roomier inside.. Longer than my f.. I guess this model is geared more towards older people.. More luxury and less sport.. It is one of three fwd on their lineup. The other 2 are both compact hybrids.. And that massive grille upfront looks good imho..

There are 4 transverse FWD vehicles in the Lexus lineup, not 3. The ES, CT, NX & RX

Not sure what that has to do with my statement that dealers don't generally do LS loaners.

was just backing up your statement stating the fact that u said lexus doesn't offer ls as loaners when mike mentioned i might have been given an ls... everyone calm down.. where's the fire ?
