Update:
After looking at the ES on the home page, I'm aboard with the interior and the dash....in fact the interior is very slick, elegant and classy...I love it!!...This car is really a winner after all. In black (or any color) the competition can't touch this one....Buick who??...Let's get reaI...I like the LS look,...very nice....I agree, this car will sell like hot cakes...I'm in the market for one now....wow...Lexus has done it again!!...Can't believe how these pics after a 'second' look has made me do a 180...I had a feeling though...The China pics really didn't capture the beauty of this one....

Overall, not bad, I think a little more thought with the integration of the dashboard would have made a big difference. Still the hood line I don't get it. I think I will probably be more impressed when I see it in person, but all in all, I'm feeling a lot better than before .
1) that stupid little panel between the leading edge of the hood & the grille. Why not extend the hood a couple of inches? I don't get it either--lame--fail--bad. Might look better on a dark colored car.
2) The lack of integration/flow between the console and lower dash. Two different design teams that didn't communicate?
3) The analog clock. Looks totally out of place in the interior. I would MUCH rather have a digital clock.
Sport Mode in an ES? Now that's different!!!

Love it! Thing of beauty. Way better than the spy pics. But that was expected wasn't it?
But after my ordeal with being patient while Lexus worked out all the bugs on my '07, I think I'll leave that up to you guys this time.

Here are some pictures of the new Avalon which was unveiled at the NY Show the day after the ES350. Toyota and Lexus are launching some nice looking cars this year.

lol...I'm tempted for sure, but first things first...price and my trade in. It will be interesting to see what price point Lexus will set this ES at, and the 'layered' options can add up fast, I prefer real leather, not sure about the NuLuxe 'leather', I have to see it/feel it. I just hope the options don't place it in the mid to upper 40's, we'll see...but I'm in the hunting mode now for sure....lol....

The '13 Avalon grill is way too big but other than that,it's very nice.

I agree there's a lot to like, but also agree there's things I really don't care for:
1) that stupid little panel between the leading edge of the hood & the grille. Why not extend the hood a couple of inches? I don't get it either--lame--fail--bad. Might look better on a dark colored car.
2) The lack of integration/flow between the console and lower dash. Two different design teams that didn't communicate?
3) The analog clock. Looks totally out of place in the interior. I would MUCH rather have a digital clock.

When I see it in person I think I'm going to be even more impressed. This car is a winner...hands down. The hood line, even looking at that closer is not bad and does not distract from the overall look IMO. I say, wait to see it in person. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.....

Never did i thought an ES model will make my turn head, until NOW! This has definitely stepped up. Loved everything about it, cant wait til I start seeing these beauties on the road.

Hmm.. I am not so sure about it. The wheels are my least favorite rims - way too busy for my taste.
Also, the interior looks less rich than my 2011 from these limited pics. Will be nice to see it in person however to confirm or deny the impression.
