I love it.



I have to wait for an official posting, this seems to be the only image out right now.

I like it more than the new GS, more than the CT, and a WHOLE LOT more than the hideous MKZ.

It's pretty ugly, honestly.  It's all very blobby.

Hater.

I like some parts of it and don't like some parts of it. It's like they tried to stretch a CT to be a GS. Big improvement over the current car though, at least from this view. I get the feeling the profile + rear 3/4 won't be as flattering.

Not a fan, but at least no one can claim it looks anything like a Camry.

I don't know why, but it reminds me of the Accord coupe.

It's not bad at all.

outstanding design, no longer resembling the toyota camry. the lexus brand now has a cohesive line-up.

They didn't even change the door panels. Same exact, big, flat, boring doors.

They don't really look alike at all. The MKZ and Fusion look more alike than the ES and Camry.

I just hope they didn't pull a 2012 Camry and fuck up the rear.

There's definitely a resemblance between those two cars.

cannot find a road test as to how it drives. i would imagine this new lexus ES will continue to give near luxury car buyers a great ride vs. "dive" (as in sportier cars). the all new lexus GS and IS cover this shortcoming. yet this trait of the ES and LS appeal to the luxury car minded owner, not sports car enthusiasts.

I'm not seeing any resemblance at all.

A very, very small amount. The MKZ and Fusion look very similar, especially on the inside (which is the problem). This new ES will likely have a new interior that has no relation to the Camry.

Wow, it looks exactly like everyone knew it would ;)

That's hilarious, because they are the same car.

They're proportioned slightly differently....the ES is lower, has a longer hood and a more rakish roofline.

Underratedly, the new Camry's quite a good looking car.
