Is anyone able to take scans of the 2002 ES 300 Brochure? Or does anyone have digital photos that you took? I feel sort of bad that no one seems to like the new ES, but then again I was reading an article in which they said no one liked the last ES when it first came out as well. Also, does anyone know if the GS is going to be designed in Europe again...because the last two designs it has been love at first sight. But I'm sort of weary of what the next one might look like....

 

I don't think that everyone hates the new look of the ES . Not from what i saw .

I was at the dealer Monday and while i was waiting for my car . About 7 people came to look at the ES while i was waiting ( which was 3 hrs ) . Usually while i'm waiting i only see about 2 people look at the ES .

If you are located near a dealer you ought to go pick up a brochure on the ES . If not go request one at lexus.com . It will take less than a week to get it .

The redisgned GS , I have no clue . I didn't even know that it was designed in europe . I know the first generation was done by that italian company and then i thought the second gen. was designed in house .

 

All I have is the preview brochure. Better pics and more info on the net.

The 1st-gen GS was designed by the Italian Giugiaro house. The second-gen was designed Akihiro Nagaya in Toyota City, Japan. The 1st-gen was ugly and quite literally retarded-looking. Lexus learned their lesson: Never, never, never outsource when it comes to the styling of an important line. The old GS can't be compared to the new GS. The GS, as well as all other Lexus lines, will continue to be designed in house in Japan. If they outsource the 3rd-gen GS, they'll sell about as many of them as they sold of the 1st-gen GS, which was about 10 cars total....
