no longer a gs 300 owner
Yesterday I traded my 1999 White GS 300 for a 2002 Black on Black ES 300. I know I down graded but the inside of the ES blew me away. Plus, anytime you can go to a dealer, get a new car, get a lower payment, and get $3500 in your pocket, it's a good deal. Lexus's don't loose value!!! I will post pics tommorow.

Hey that's a great deal. The new ES is VERY nice. It's probably barely any slower than the GS300 and it's VERY refined.

The ES250 was a tarted up Camry. Subsequently all ES300s have been designed as Lexus and then de-contented to become Camrys.

Congrats on your new ride. If it's what you like, then great.
...But personally, IMHO Iwould be just a bit ticked if I had just put down Lexus size $$$ for a car that looks 99% like a Toyota. I think Toyota corporate did all NEW ES300 owners a dis-service in deciding to make the new ES300 & Camry even more clone like than the previous versions were...I thought that was bad enough.
I am sure your new ES300 is just beautiful and it rides smooth as silk as well as luxurious inside. Enjoy!

getting a new car with cash out the door is nice, but i still like the GS as well. take absolutely no offense, but i somehow like the look of the camry a lot better. just looks damn nice whereas the ES is kinda out there. but you're right, that interior is to die for!
happy driving

Are we both thinking of the "new" ES300/Camry body style?
Darn hard to tell the two apart except for the badging...
Closest I have ever seen to "clone-cars"
