I’m going to leave this here for now but there is an 8th gen forum now.

 

Hmmm, wait until the Chinese cars arrive for sale in America. They're already going to Canada effective March 1st. Longer ranges, more horsepower, cutting edge design, technology off the charts, and maybe even less costly. Ford, GM, Toyota, and Chrysler are nervous... Quality, dependability = unknown.

 

Good luck with those prices Lexus. I will see it and drive it but probably won't buy it. This reminds me of when I had my LS in for service and was given an HS as a loaner. I asked the valet if it was a Lexus because it sure did not look or feel like one. We all know how long that model lasted and why.

 

Y'know, we really need a new forum for "Generation 8".

 

You should reach out to Lexus and offer your services, or at least, explain them how to use Gemini.
Definitely a much better exterior look; still can’t stand the interior. I've said it before, that black hockey molding on the colored trims is just plain ugly, IMHO.

 

There is one started

 

Or skip Gen8 entirely and add a new for Gen9.

BTW, there's already a ES Gen8 thread here: ES - 8th Gen (2026-present)

Edit: There's so much anticipation in that "ES - 8th Gen (2026-present)" forum, that Lexus will soon start offering "Giveaway" for posts.

 

Good! Thank for the tip…

 

For the exterior get rid of the linear graph which on the driver's side will represent sales and minimize the hideous black area under the headlights and it looks good.

 

I don't think I would ever consider this car in the future for one big reason.....It is just too big and long. I have a nice garage but do not think it would even fit in there and my current ES has such a nice, big back seat. What would I need even more space?

 

It is 6.4 inches longer and wouldn't fit in my garage since I have cabinets along the front. The TX is huge and is only one inch longer then a new ES.

 

Is it just me or does the "no hockey stick" version look just like the current US Toyota Crown?

This is a big deal... Won't fit in mine either because in front I keep all my car care products. The more I read about this car and see what our members say, I think that Toyota has delivered a loser...
Only time will tell...

 

I'll be surprised if this model gets anything more than below-average sales in the US market. Apparently, Lexus is betting heavily on big Asian/Chinese market, but I'm not sure it will perform much better there either, considering the strong EV competitors offering better numbers in price, range, performance; and IMHO better styling too.
Only time will tell indeed...
