ES 350 Pictures Out !!!
 
I just spotted some new ES350 pictures. Check them out:

http://www.clubacura.com/lexus/lexus...spy-photos.htm

The exterior looks a bit blend. And I totally hate the interior rounded center panel. It looks so ugly that it alone discorages me from getting the car :egads: . Now I am so sure that will be getting the GS350 when it comes out.

I definitely like it more than the current ES330.

I used to not like the exterior of the current ES330 when it first came out. It looked too "tall" and the front grill looked a bit out of place. But I got used to it after two years or so.

I like the exterior of the new ES350. I think it looks better. But not great. Maybe I'll get used to its interior's rounded middle panel after a while. But for the current es330 has my vote on the front panel.

Am I crazy or is that a glass top I see? :uh:

No you're not crazy, it's a panoramic glass roof with 2 retractable panels. :thumbup:

It looks like a GS mated with an IS. And came up with an ES body.

superpats Feb 1, 2006 10:10 AM

Love the front the rear views of the car but the side angel looks too much like the current ES 330 :sad: ....overall, I like it!! :woohoo:

Wassa786 Feb 1, 2006 11:11 AM

a bit too similiar
 
I agree, it looks more like the RL from the front and an IS from the rear, no originality here :sad:

As far as the styling goes...

Exactly! The MCV30 looks much, much better IMHO. :sad:

Not sure if I'm a fan of the glass roof idea. :confused: :uh:

I don't mind the lack of originality as long as the copy cat job is done right. For example if the 350 looks almost like the current GS or a good looking BMW, I'd still like it. In fact originality doesn't work out for me in the ES350 case: look at how funny the rounded the *original* center console looks.

After looking at the exterior a few more times I am starting to see more "Toyota Coralla" in the backend! The front looks fine but if you think about it, most ES will have a license plate hanging in between the "\ /" shape lip line. That will make the car look like a rabbit. Actually more like a hampster! I did an MS Paint job and I think it looks a bit funny.

If someone has the extra time, maybe we can get a Photoshop'ed ES350 with a WA (or any white license plate will do) licence plate on it for our entertainment. :D

The dash center stack resembles, um.... a woman's private parts...
 
Ugly dashboard to say the least.

Very nice! I really like the roofline from the rear, 3/4 view. Looks like a panoramic roof! I see that Lexus will be continuing the "L-Finesse look" on the new ES.
