They better design the next new LS in a way that makes it EASILY distinguishable from this new ES other than size and length ......

They now have an ES200 with a naturally-aspirated (?) 2.0 liter engine which will be sold in markets such as Mainland China, Taiwan and Russia.

Question though: Will it replace the ES250?

Or not really?

depends on the market... in China, it will replace 2.5l because they have better taxes for 2.0l engines... in many other countries, 2.5l will continue to be offered, likely instead of 2.0l...

It same new AR series engine from new Camry in China and Taiwan, but i think you know that.

I also like the new interior color schemes. The braon vs black upper and lowers.

it's said to be 'all new' - is it? or just a huge makeover of the same platform?

In the press release, Lexus is calling it "Refreshed" so I don't think they're pitching it as "all new".

For 2016, Lexus designers have cast a daring new form with the refreshed ES.

it's inoffensive.

But I wonder when the grille will overtake the whole bumper, seeing how it's getting wider and wider

At 0:38, the shot of the side mirror, looks like they added a camera. I hope its an all around view!

Looks like puddle lamps to me. A camera will be bulkier than that.

They also call the ES. "Near luxury" in the write up.

Isn't it supposed to be "near luxury"? (or junior executive in some parts of the world)
