Just looked at the pics of the new 2019 ES. It looks nice, but the exterior looks too much like our cars

I liked that the outgoing ES had looks that differentiated it from our GS. Oh well.

 

Sign of things to come...

 

So this will be the E Class and 5 Series fighter? Better have the performance to back up that look and FWD ain't gonna cut it.

 

This is no way a GS replacement, just look at those tiny front brakes! But it does look like a mini LS.

 

i really like it. there are alot of design cues from both the GS and LS. I especially like the side profile, except how long that nose is... and obviously the FWD. haha

 

Yea why is that nose so long? It's going to scrape everywhere.

 

I actually think the current/outgoing ES looks more like our GSs than the new ES does.

Because...front wheel drive...

 

Too much Camry DNA in the exterior...

 

FWD, with a Camry engine and yes I agree "Too much Camry DNA in the exterior". I don't see much E-class, 5-series fighter, here. One advantage it has is it appears to be a roomier cabin. For me, the LS looks to have been the platform to carry on the 4-gen GS legacy.

 

The LS does look pretty awesome to me, and I have seen some good reviews. I am not saying that the ES looks bad, I actually think it looks good. I just think it steals too much from the 4GS design and looks too similar to our cars, which have a more aggressive look than last-gen ES.

 

Before I bought the GS, I floored an LS and was unimpressed by its heaviness / sluggish speed. The GS on the other hand took off like a rocket. Hard to compare a quick V6 and a heavy V8. Nice cars but different tastes.

 

Definitely a heavier car than the GS, and I really like the GS. New gen LS has a twin turbo V6, and it is probably lighter. Not sure how it would compare to the LS you drove.

 

Same 3.5L V6 and 2.5L I4 hybrid offering.. It's not a problem if they continued with a new GS, but if they are thinking that's enough to take over the reigns of the GS, they've really got to look over their homework again.

 

Hybrid with a CVT. A CEEE VEEEE TEEEE!!!! Yes that'll smoke the Germans.
