Why did my thread get closed?
There was actually great conversation starting, and my thread "[b=left]Great deal - should I ditch my ES for it?" was closed. Can someone please let me know why?[/b]

Also, ES isn't a Camry, its a Toyota Windom. Just like a Solara, Avalon (before 2005) and sienna (before 2004) are camry-similar, they aren't rebadged Camrys. Dont get me wrong, im not proud, but facts are facts. a Buick Verano is based on a chevy cruze, but it isn't one. Sound deadening, steel thickness in areas, motor mounts, and other components make the difference. An ES is a step over a camry in many ways, but they are mechanically almost identical
it came down, basically, to not wanting this GS bad enough to part with my car. I WILL own a 1990-94 LS someday as a collectible. Had a 2014 Avalon, it was a bit stiff.. they revised them in 16 for that reason. I LOVED the older ones pre-05.
Lastly, if your 70's caddy bounces, bring it over, I'll put some new shocks in it for you, will only take 15 minutes ;-)

Thats pretty rude and unnecessary. I contribute hear often, technically, not just opinions. I BUILD cars and parts, I think I understand why a straight six to the rear wheels and all the other non-economy components are better than an ES. I wasnt looking for that, I was looking for opinions on if its worth the sacrifice, roughly 70$ per month in gas for someone who drives as much as me, along with other factors. but like I said, I decided to stick with my camry… oops I mean 2002 ES284 (used to be a 300!)

my guy,
regardless of anything, you can't compare an ES to a GS.
that's like comparing a plain civic to an accord, no matter what, the accord will always be better all the way around.
if gas is really a huge issue for you, you should go look for a civic then.
the ES is a joke of a car. theres a reason why the es is FWD and every other 'real' lexus is RWD and AWD for the lx's rx's, etc
