I agree it's terrible, but the current Avalon and ES share nothing about the grill so I don't think this new Avalon grill is any indication for the next gen ES styling.

Looks like a simple continuation of the "gaping maw" spindle grills that have taken over all Lexus front ends since 2013. They are obviously very polarizing, and I believe they are an attempt to lure a younger audience to Lexus (and Toyota). I agree the new grills look hideous, like something a 9-year old would draw as the "perfect cool car." Unless the company changes direction suddenly, I would think the redesigned 2019 ES would sport an even more enormous grill...

Here's a rendering and a spy shot of the '19 ES if you haven't seen it yet.

Hopefully the production model will be at the New York auto show in April... I'll take a lot of photos...
