I think in asking why the LS has less room, they didn't want an explanation as to how it has less room but rather the reasoning behind the decision to design it as such when viewing the Lexus sedan portfolio as a whole. Personally, I think this means they're going to shake things up a bit and we've got a bit more exciting offerings coming up as current model positions & missions in the lineup shift.
The ES is a special Lexus sedan that does NOT target dynamics with its front drive architecture - hence the extra interior space.

Why cant Lexus take the LC styling and translate it into sedan form?
The ES has a crazy looking grille that doesn't mesh with rest of the car.
Atleast RX and NX the whole design is aggressive.

It will sell well to entry level luxury shoppers.

The 7ES is the second attempt, and a more reasonable result.
I suspect the third and fourth reserved for 5GS & 4IS will go down much better...

I suspect with the boom in SUV and fall in sedan sales - there is a move for sedans to target dynamics, because people who genuinely want space would already purchase an SUV.

Agreed. Being a GS buyer, I still wouldn't consider this 7ES despite thinking very highly of it based on initial impressions! It will likely fly off dealer lots regardless.

I like the looks of the exterior, don't know about the interior...a lot of it will depend on the material choices they make...
Thankfully it has an ordinary gearshift LOL
