based on this, sorry man, this is sorta tearing your thing down. but lexus would not make a 4L 6... they would have an es430 if anything. and unfortunatley, it would not be sporty by any means. even lex's 430 engine only puts out about 300 horsepower so it would be weird for a 4L to be making 350. alpine systems are not as good as mark levinson... so i dont think that lexus would use an alpine setup. the leather that they use, well i dont know what it is really so i cant comment on that. but i wouldnt want a steering wheel that is made of ivory, i like my wood. i dont know how a 4L 6cylinder can do a 4.6 unless it was turbo'd but i guess it could happen.

well i guess that was pretty harsh, but its all my opinion and not directed toward you, just the car. i see how you were just choppin an ES and described it. im just saying... well nevermind. its just what i think.

i like my car just fine!




in my opinion, the 97-up es300s are the prettiest of the es series. the latest es would have been perfect if it werent for the front end. the 96-below, its kinda old looking. the 97-up may have bland stlying but w/ a modern look that will age nicely. to alleviate the "old person's car look", i got a spoiler. ive seen a lot of 97-up es300s w/ the honda accord style wing from automega.com. i wanted something distinctive yet not honda accordish so there it is, my 1998 Lexus ES300... no photoshop, as is!

You'd need about 435 hp to get that kind of trap speed

im sorry for the misunderstanding. im not saying that i dont like your car, not even the photoshopped version of it. im just saying that the car that you described, your es400, is not a realistic car for lexus. i know you were just messing around, but i was just thinking aloud. your ES is nice.

AYY!!!!!! Ang BADUY ng design!!! BINABOY!!! If you like faster Lexus, then get the GS or SC.

They are designed to go fast. Personally I also like the '97 to 2000 ES300 styling. The prior to '97 styling, I like their front end and I like the first generation GS' rear end. I don't like the spoiler for the ES300. They look wannabe sport sedan and very trying hard. (just my personal opinion)
