From a technical perspective, yes. Fit and finish, material quality, gaps, reliability…no no.
Funny you say that, Both my 2021 ESes had significant panel gaps, obvious ones too. 3 out of the 4 doors crooked, hood crooked, interior dash panel crooked (refer to my old posts) - I have photos of all too for documentation. Oh don't forget the 5 interior rattles I fixed, as well as my bubbling trunk clear coat.
Also I've posted a couple times about this, but not in a big way. try to dig up my older posts. My last ES hybrid cut out completely a couple times in an intersection -- no power while rolling into fast moving cross traffic. scary as F. then the car woke up. About a 3 second cut out. happened to anyone? its like the computers fell asleep and the car was unresponsive to pedal input. literally foot to the floor - zero response for a few seconds. felt like enernity. It happened three times. no codes or anything. so not every lexus is fault or panel gap problem free.

Wow did you create it, nice try, love the arts...
However the outside, especially the front looks like the current LS, and too much curve and definition on the body, wish that wheels are available on the so-call Camry with Lexus badge aka ES lol. The inside doesn't look realistic to Lexus LOL, too big to start with, the ES doesn't have that big of a space LOL I mean we all know if will look similar to the current RX and NX so no surprise here, just looking forward to see the outside...
Your interior image shows pedal caps. Sure hope they’re ultimately included on all 350 ES levels. Disappointing that a 40-50 thousand dollar car does not have them for all but the UL level. And you can’t buy Lexus made caps after production. Frustrating for me. Uncovered pedals look too modest compared to rest of the beautiful interior.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your experiences. Those were excellent posts. I agree wholeheartedly with you in that its important to be enthusiastic yet objective and not a blind follower of any particular brand. I've come to realize the Lexus forum as a whole has many members who lack objectivity and are ready to go up in arms the moment you question Lexus' reliability and quality.
FWIW, my GS wasn't perfect either, nowhere near as bad as your ES, but not perfection like most here would like you to believe. No cars or car brands are perfect.
