I tend to think of "de-tuned" more as what they did with the 2GR-FSE in the IS300.

No argument there. The last FWD car I had was my '05 TSX. It didn't bother me as it was still a great handler and didn't have enough torque to be a problem, but for anything with more power/torque, I would prefer to avoid FWD.

Yes you would think I researched and researched but had buyers remorse with current car, don't want anothe car with runflats
hey "different strokes for different folks", but i agree with the previous poster if your doubting yourself on the purchase i would wait and find something thats right for you.
i myself find the wider and slatted grille on the ES even more unattractive.
i wouldn't step into something as expensive as a new car without having a decisive decision on what you want and how the car you purchased fulfilled that "wanted" space.
no buyers remorse here..........

Nice, just curious about the age group driving the ES...I guess they're saying its for older people, maybe I'm in the segment haha
I purchased, they have a 2K rebate until the end of the month and then I got another 1K for being military. I paid 41K for this vehicle which seems about average or just below with the options for the premium paint and colorguard which would've been another 1500 according to the sticker.
