For ES money what I'd have a hard time turning down is a Genesis G80.

Good call for a plush ride.

Never been a fan of Nissan/Infinti plastic material, or that CVT system.

Thank you for clearing this up. I've been wondering about this for 7 years.

Have you ever posted on a forum before?

Can you imagine the arrogance to chime in as a new member on a forum to a 7 year old thread like that? Yeah none of us on the largest Lexus forum in the world knew the ES from 7 years ago was based on the Avalon (which is based on the Camry). Thank God this guy came along and set us all straight! Hilarious lol
