I really like it. Looks much better in my opinion.

I think my dislike comes from that completely horizontal piece at the bottom of the front bumper combined with the headlight design. The old ES350 wasn't the best looker either so perhaps I'm being too harsh. To this day I still think the LS460 has the best spindle front end.

I need to see it from some other angles and all but so far, I like it.

I don't understand the negativity towards Lexus interiors. Went to the NY Auto show and sat in the german's and by god was the interior chintzy and cheap. Even in the S550. Hard plastics all over and it looks nowhere as nice as the brochures or the commercials depicts it. Everything feels flimsy. And what's with the old school number pad like on those corded phones? The M3 and M4 was just as bad.

^^^ because the ES interior used to be higher grade a couple generations ago, they deliberately cheapen it so as to differentiate it more from the GS interior and more in line with the IS, both of them their entry level sedans ......

The top horizontal piece in this "leaked" pic doesn't seem to match the teaser image from Lexus.. Hard to tell the white from the chrome, but it doesn't seem to have the body color "mustache" between the spindle and the hood that we know exists.

All in all, excellent MMC, it really looks a lot better.
I doubt they did anything substantial to the interior, maybe changed few plastics and added 8" screen. But who knows.
It will sell even better now.
