I have seen Toyota badged ES300 ^^ in Russia too a couple years ago, & they still have no official ES in Russia right now, although they do have the rest of the Lexus models...

Ohh ok. Any ideas? Was the Windom selling well?

I don't know, I wouldn't call it a rebadge because they're identical cars, just called different names.

Some of them were rebages, and some of them actually had different exterior parts, mainly the headlamps, taillamps, grille and bumpers.

wow... that just made it more confusing. By some of them, do you mean factory-spec or people modifying their cars?

These are the latest shots fro AutoSpies press release on the ISC and they had an HS there. These dont look half bad!

I must say, it does look sharper in the dark grey metallic. Must be a prototype. The rear badge is still the standard "L"

Those are the best looking pics of the HS I've seen yet^^, but I still think it doesn't look like a car that should wear the Lexus badge ...

Default New 2010 IS-C and HS250h Pictures courtesy of Autospies

I haven't seen these posted up come check them up, I think the convertible actually looks pretty darn sharp in real photos in the outdoors, unfortunately there's no interior shots of either. The HS250h looks a entry level car though.

Looks like cheap crap is what it looks like. What a disaster the entire exterior is.

The HS still looks like a Corolla to me. Sorry. It doesn't say luxury brand in any way at all. Lexus designers really dropped the ball on this one. We'll see if it sells.

HS is such a big failure.

just because it's a hybrid doesn't mean you have to go and beat it with the ugly stick.

most of the lexus lineup is ugly

I don't really like the HS. It kind of looks like a high end Corolla. The look of the IS coupe still has to grow on me.
