i am sure some people somewhere out there will say this car is boring and ugly. you will never get all people saying positive things. just like we have plenty of people here saying that bmw and mb are boring and ugly.
but i am saying here within clublexus. i just want to make it a point that a lot of people here actually talk cars and just that -- cars. when the 4gs came out quite a few people say the car is ugly and there were a lot of talk saying amazing that all new lexus and people automatically don't like it even on clublexus. i want to say it's hardly the case.
here i am saying, the es is fantastic

I called the 4GS ugly. I call the new ES beautiful. It is a sleek, sporty, inspiring shape. I think this will kill the competition.
It's a shame they don't offer AWD on this. With AWD I think it would bring back some German buyers to Lexus.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the new ES. I was expecting to be underwhelmed especially since it was going to have FWD proportions. Despite a pretty big front overhang, Lexus somehow got it looking great. It is a very sleek and elegant design and this will be a big hit for Lexus.

Saw live pics on Autoblog first, which for some reason shows an ES hybrid with different wheels. Was disappointed, but then came here and saw better pics

LOVE it! ESh gets 40mpg in the city.... that is pretty incredible. I'm guessing hwy in the low 30's. Either way, a home run for sure! This is the first Lexus, since i bought my 2IS in 2006, that i would be interested in.

I would replace the SC600h on your list with the the IS300h and the GS300h, the trademarks of both of which have already been filed in some countries. If the GS300h isn't coming out then maybe the RX450h AWD and the RX450h FWD can count as two models lol.
