the car needs to put out more than 200hp though. Is there any hope of having a really detuned version of the 2.5 v6 from the IS plus the hybrid powertrain? Im sick of this 4 cyl nonsense
The GS doesn't sell well to begin with so naturally the GSh didn't sell well either.
Let's look at the RX which sells the most within the entire Lexus line so the RXh does sell well. The ES is the second highest selling vehicle within the Lexus line so it only makes sense that the ESh should sell well.
Good points, but the main draw to the RXh is that it allows one to erase the common drawback of an SUV- poor gas mileage. The regular ES does not come with an automatic mileage deficit. It's already a decently economical luxury sedan. Adding a hybrid would only add some green to an already green vehicle. In other words, there's less of a hybrid advantage or need for it with the ES compared to the RX.

With you 100%. 2.5L V6 hybrid would be totally awesome
I dunno bud. I believe both the ES and RX 350 get about 22 MpG avg.
So 450h bumps that to 30 MPG with 295hp.
I figure a 300h will bump to 33-35mpg easy with around 220hp
Should be. Hopefully Toyota carried over the weight loss programme to the ES. (and we'll add it all back with the panoramic glass roof, nav, premium leather, radar cruise )
