AJL0365 I can't speak for the ES, but no th Camry, the sport packages are nothing more than body trim, a few interior badges. The suspension remains exactly the same unless you buy the "TRD lowering package" i.e. the same rebadged Eibach crap 1.25" drop springs (or 1.5" for Solara) they've been selling for fifteen years.

i'm saying that those shots are of the camry though...it is not of the new ES
and with L-finesse and Toyota's new design style, these cars will not look alike at all
for example, look at the new GS and Avalon

They're on different platforms, driven by different wheels, and serve totally different markets. The only thing that's similar is the V6 engine, which is from the same family, but the GS's has direct injection and the Avalon's doesn't.I have no problem with regarding ES as Lexus's version of the Camry on the other hand.

07' Es
I think we're all just punch drunk with anticipation on the new model....
Somebody get ahold of Chris Doane with Brenda Priddy & Co. and put a full court press on some 2007 ES350 spy pics !!!!
I feel like a broke junkie on the downward slide over here......

if there was something above the avalon, it would be compared to the LS because that would be the flagship model
do you guys realize that it is a Camry in those spy pictures though?

i'm not saying it has anything physically similar with the GS...i'm saying that what the two cars are to there individual brands is similar...remember NOT the cars themselves, but their statures in their respective brands

Edmunds has that photo up as the ES
Not that they're always accurate but Edmunds is using the white car spy shot as the new ES. Look under photos and they're all up for reference.

The dual exhaust gives me reason to believe this is accurate. The Camry shots are a single tail pipe.

As for the exhaust pipes, the Camry does have dual exhaust pipes, as confirmed by LEXUS FAN! in person.
Next ES:

If that's the case......I think that's a bit of a bummer considering the new Avalon had a completly brand new powertrain. Why wouldn't they do that for Lexus? I was hoping for the ES 350 here. I guess we still have to wait & see what 'Officially' Lexus announces.

And the fact that it requires dual exhaust pipes just like the new Avalon can only mean it's the new 3.5L.
