Never mind, I understood your point.
AWD is probably likely to happen.

If anything, the new GS (if it comes out) is the baby LS because they'll both share the GA-L platform. If the Lexus ES was on the GA-L platform as well, which will make it a RWD vehicle, I would be calling the ES a baby LS as well. But its not - so I wouldn't call the ES a baby LS - just my opinion though.

Anyways back to more meaningful discussion. I hope they will offer AWD as an option and this might be my next lease. I do wish they will offer it with the new hybrid system, new cvt and offer more power than the Avalon.

The ES has always been considered to be a baby LS, right from the early days of Lexus, when there was only large LS and the compact ES. That continues, with the LS continuing to be the large, more conservative, executive sedan and the ES being the smaller but still conservative executive sedan, as opposed to the sportier IS and GS.

I just personally feel you can't call a Camry/Avalon re-skin FWD ES a baby LS. Its just a bit ludicrous for me. I'm 100% down to call the GS the baby LS because that makes more sense. If the Lexus GS drops a new model, it'll likely share the same GA-L as the LS, have RWD, and have more similar features to the LS/pricing it closer to the LS.

I like it, the triple LED beam should just be standard every Lexus. This better have standard Auto folding mirrors now

So a hybrid variant is confirmed, but what about an F Sport? I honestly hope it doesn't get one, but I mean - the RX does, and it's decidedly unsporty. If it has AWD then it will at least be able to power out of a corner, I suppose - and with the new V-6 and 8-speed from the Camry, it should be decently quick compared to the outgoing version... So it's not that farfetched IMO.

ES needs to badly grow it's sales? It's the best selling Lexus sedan, and second best selling Lexus model behind the RX. The IS and GS need more attention than it. The ES is just stale with it's 268hp motor from 2007 / 6AT, barely usable hybrid model trunk space etc.. This new exterior looks more in line with the latest Lexus sheet metal designs.

. Really want to see what they did with the interior. I suspect the hybrid will have a few more ponies and perhaps a few more mpg than the current. Hybrid battery should be under the rear passenger seat allowing for better trunk space, perhaps even 60/40 split fold. I'd wager it has an optional 301hp V6.

Dude! I hope it has power automatic folding mirrors too. But the realistic person in me says ES likely won't have it. I believe the Lexus ES won't have it because of cost-cutting.
I think the hybrid will have a few more HP as well.

The F-Sport model will probably have no power bump as usual too.

Agreed. The triple LED beam should be just standard. But Lexus is trying to be like the Germans, making you pay for the lighting options.

I believe they will finally become standard, because save for the IS, RC, and ancient GX, they're stand on all models including the refreshed NX. That is my opinon though, if they don't debut on the 2019 model, then I believe you'll see Lexus add them on following model years. From Lexus's own history, they've been known to drop features then 're-add' them simply to say hey see we added something for this model year

No doubt, and it's understandable. It is a business.

What I am interested in is new stuff, thats not on UX for instance... how much nicer the interior? And digital display as in LS?

That's true. The IS, RC and GX don't have it. I believe the new Lexus UX won't have either since its going to be their cheapest offering.
We are going to just have to wait and see what they offer when they reveal it.
Not just Lexus - Toyota tends to do that too. They add good features and then removes it. I have noticed that with the Camry. The Camry had LED brake lights in 2007 but once that generation ended, they removed the LED brakes till 2018. Not sure why they do this. Lol.
You can probably expect the ESh to have 208+ TSHP. Since its based on the Camry/Avalon.
