    2013 Lexus ES Caught

    February 21, 2012

    Lexus is having a problem with their new vehicles showing up before their official showing. The first one being the new RX crossover. Now, the new ES has been revealed.

    Caught by someone on the XCar fourms, the new ES follows Lexus' new design language. The front end gets the new predator front end grill treatment and LED strips running along the headlights. Around the back, a new set of sculpted side fenders and the trunk lid closely resembling the flagship LS.

    Inside, the GS influence continues. A large screen displaying navigation, radio, and climate takes center stage.Also, simpler surfaces and conservative colors keep it very tame.

    WOW,Talk about a big build up to nothing. Seems to cut people into the I love it or hate it camp based on the comments on the web site where the pictures are posted.

    Over all, Buick has nothing to fear, this car is a let down and I do not see sales going up at all but just selling to existing people who already drank the coolaid.

    This is NOT a conquest auto. Hyundia and Kia are doing better than this Camry warm over.

    Haha wow people on this site hate Lexus. I am not saying I have any plans to buy one but I don't think it's terrible. I mostly agree that it is boring despite the grill. That is their thing though and it has worked for them. Lexus is hardly hurting for business.

    Yeah, the ES has a geriatric image, but I do know two people that bought them--both were under 30...

    The entire Lexus line rests on the RX and ES. I don't think Lexus can afford to screw up the ES... and I also don't think that interior is a step forward for them.

      You see why I do as little business with American business as possible.  Yes, several years apart though.  Let me just quote everything Oldshurst has said over the last several years and months...or not....but its how I feel.  I want to do this...

      Yes, people over things, but they say the handover of confiscated goods happens quickly.  Let's see how this goes.  These people are probably gonna have to finger other people or some type of organization who would be on the receiving end. When I read about this, I started thinking about how many weird things are happening in france.  First there was the fire at Notre Dame and now this at the Louvre.  Weird.

      These idiots are too stupid to understand that Tariff Turd47 has destroyed any desire for people to come here and spend their hard-earned money. Far better places to visit around the globe where your money will go farther. I have noticed how bad it has become at Home Depot with terrible service, no knowledge by those that do work there plus their founder, chairman, CEO is a Tariff Turd47 Lover, as such I have moved my business to Lowe's and the shopping experience is much better. These kinds of Idiots no longer get my business. Home Depot’s Ken Langone ‘Sold On Trump’ After Tariff Criticism Key Facts Langone, 89, told CNBC he has “never been more excited about the future of America” than he is right now, and that, “like it or not, this guy is getting things done.” He praised Trump’s strike on Iran as “miraculous” and said the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” has “a lot of merit” and will trigger significant economic growth. He told CNBC in 2024 he was afraid Trump would spend the next four years “getting even,” but reversed his position on Tuesday, saying, “I’m happy to say, I’m comfortable he’s not doing that.” Langone said “people are walking with more bounce” and, when asked about his previous criticisms of Trump, said, “when you make a mistake, admit it.” Clearly this IDIOT is only talking with other Billionaires and is clueless to how bad this country has become.

      7 people arrested and yet the Jewelry is still missing, crazy. The fact that the DNA evidence was in a database would imply that either the people are already criminals from the past or France is tracking DNA of people even though they say DNA testing is illegal in France. Very interesting, will be more so to see if they actually recover the jewelry, I suspect it is already melted down, diamonds cut and gone forever.
