you mean on the 3gs? if so, it's mainly due to bad build quality. panels are not put together right and lexus cheap out on a lot of installations. it's very obvious if you work on your cars, night and day difference between 3gs and 4gs. 07-12 imho were really dark years for lexus. the president at the time tried too hard to be number 1 in volume at the expense of quality. even the LS suffered. since then it has improved a lot.

and back on topic i am really eager to see the new es in person
