The ES is definately not a sports car, sometimes I feel like I'm drivin' a minivan when pulling tight turns (but the body lean seems to be fun as hell for passengers).

But the ES has class-CLASS that only a refined car with an L on the hood can posess. When people see me driving the ES it gets respect, not respect as a sports car, but as a PHAT luxury car made to be pimped.

A 95 ES like I drive is maybe worth $10 K, but people don't care, to them it's a Lexus and that's all that matters.
