Love it, so sleek and sexy. The interior looks first class. Only gripe as mentioned by 1SICKLEX is the hood line. It reminds me a bit of the Honda CRZ's hoodline. But, the integration of the spindle grille is good here.

Worst application of the spindle grille yet IMHO. Hate the gap between the grille and the hood. Hopefully I'll change my mind when I see one in person. The rest of the exterior looks quite fitting for an ES though, smooth and having good presence. Like the taillights in particular, even though they're somewhat BMW-esque. The interior is so so... don't like the Remote Touch being the only black part in the all-ivory lower trim, making it look tacked-on, and there should be more wood panels, particularly in front of the passenger.

i think it makes it look agressive.. looks good, heh... very good.
again, they better stop doing their mumbo jumbo and offer it in Europe... it would be their best seller! Due to high taxes, GS is way too expensive in many countries here... i mean not many people would be able to afford $140k RXh, so I dont see why do they think we can :-).

Really?
I can't believe that is an ES
, the rumors of it being a beauty is true. As spwolf stated, looks more coupe like than the GS and the Avalon will likely gain this greenhouse looking at those rumors. Not derivative or predictable at all for an ES inside or out to me. This has blown me away. Now I see why all the hype has been about the ES internally and with even GM.
I don't like that weird hood line in the front though.

I feel the same way, this is much better executed then the 4GS exterior styling wise, everything flows together
This should be the 4GS F-Sport front bumper.

Looks nice but that grille is a bit much a soft luxury car like the ES imho. The sportier GS can barley get away with it. Overall its a step in the right direction
