Is it just me or does the 2013 ES look better than the GS

It's not just you. I think the ES looks a hell of a lot better than the new GS. It just pisses me off even more how badly Lexus screwed up the 4GS.
If the ES came in RWD, I'd consider.

No idea, but I just bought 7yr/100k extended warranty for my '09 after checking out the new GS, so I'm probably looking at '15/16 for my next purchase. I'm hoping they'll fix the styling, improve Enform, upgrade the powertrain, and bring back the little things (like folding mirrors and trunk struts).

Im turned off by the darth vader looking front end and grill. If those lines were smoothed out and the grill provided a sleek look rather than the obtrusive inwards concave, I think it would clean up the look alot. The front wheel to the rear looks great, but from the front tire forward is pretty hideous (like a Caddy CTS). Simple and clean is better.

It looks even worse in person. They smoothed lines on the side like a BMW and now it looks like garbage. That's good actually because I don't feel inclined to spend more money on the new model.

+1. If the ES had dual exhaust tips as well. But those photo shop pics look great.

I agree. Te back of the gs350 doesn't match the front.
The Es flows and looks great from all angles. I would buy an ES before a Gs
Im about ready for a new Lexus. Ls is beast mode but too much car for me right now.
I'M trying to pay off my divorce and save for my 2nd wedding.....doh!!!!!!!

Starting to see a few GS on the road now and the rear is just horrible. Its like they ran out of time and just slapped it together. The rest of the car is BOLD and DIFFERENT....then you see the rear and 
I heard the car is actually "floaty" compared to the 3gs so I have to drive one now to see what all the hype is about the improved handling.
