Did anyone hear if the Gen 8 ES was on display today at the New York Auto Show?

Lexus is listed as an Exhibitor.

Slowly went through a two hour amateur cell phone video of the show’s displays. Lexus had a nice display of mostly SUV’s. Saw one or two 350 ES on the floor. They appeared to be ordinary 2024 models. Double check me. It was a hasty video.

Who knows - maybe not even for MY2026. My 2019 still looks new

As does my 2021. It still looks and drives perfect, too. Only relevance to me is that if a new model comes out this fall, I want to grab a 2024 while I still can. I’m actually hoping the new model is deferred to 2026 so I’ll have one more year with my 2021, which actually can’t be told from a 2024.
Also, just curious, too…

Looking more and more likely not much will change for the MY25. Same old fart 6cyl ES.

And so does my 2019. We got a bargain back then and the car is virtually identical to the 2024...

The benefit of buying early gen model year.

I agree the 8ES look fresh and modern, but it needs some newer tech.

Agreed!
Except maybe the potential for some bugs to be worked out, like our jerky transmissions. I try not to let it bother me and have largely gotten used to it, but when I drive my wife's 2019 RX which exhibits NONE of that jerking, it's harder to ignore when I get back in my car. And as far as I can tell, the '23-'24 owners don't experience our issue either.

Really just an annoyance, and I'm still glad to have my 2019 for the reasons you stated.

Hoping there is nothing major for 2025.. itll give me a bit more time to squirrel away a bigger down payment.
