from that angle, looks like a straight LS, but i guess the headlights with oldie turn signals means lower ES. However VERY VERY SHARP..

Looks a lot like the spy shots I’ve seen floating around of the 2019 ES being tested.

Looks legit, and very nice! Bring good tech, and this car could be their best in the line up.

That same "leak" is now in several English language sources. See, e.g.,:

https://carbuzz.com/news/this-is-our...9-lexus-es-350

https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...exus-es-leaked

https://www.motoring.com.au/2019-lex...reveal-112013/

There is also a YouTube video out there which adds nothing new.

[QUOTE=pab12;10167719]But what are the tow-hooks left and right of the grill?

Good spot Pab12 - and that made be think back many years and then go look at my 2018 made in U.S. ES 350. I had already removed the tow hook from the trunk and replaced it with a 5-in-1 screwdriver of my choice and I recalled reading in the owner's manual that the tow hook was to be used only for towing not as a tie-down on a flatbed etc. And then I recalled when they started making Camry's in the U.S. and I wanted one made in Japan I used to be able to spot them quickly on the dealer lots by the absence of the two hook access cover on the bumpers on the U.S. cars. I went out and looked at my new ES and sure enough even though I had the tow hook in the trunk the car had no access covers on the bumpers for the hook. I'm pretty sure my made in Japan 2016 did have the access covers.
