New ES350

BMW F22 · 02-11-2006, 02:11 PM

I know this thread belongs in the "offtopic cars" section but it just doesnt get a lot of attention there. So...Just wanted to say "wow the new ES looks very nice". I couldnt attach any pix but you guys should check it out. It's a niiice freaking car.

Enroutte · 02-11-2006, 02:15 PM

I don't like it. When thinking about buying cars I was actually looking at that because I thought it was a bit "classier" than the IS but.. the ES almost looks too conventional. Like -- a granny car (ya this is coming from the girl who drives teh volvo.

) that's like 90123012 years off the ground. It's too high off the ground. No like.

Camry with a Lexus badge.

I'd say the Camry looks really nice, considering it's price, but the Lexus doesn't give you anything extra as far as exterior styling for how much more it costs.

BMW F22 · 02-11-2006, 02:17 PM

did u see the new one??? I bet you didnt. Go to Lexus.com and check out the "new ES350" icon on the bottom right hand corner. Look at it and I bet you'll like it.

Nikki · 02-11-2006, 02:20 PM

Did you see the new Camry? Go to Toyota.com and click on "new Camry"

Enroutte · 02-11-2006, 02:21 PM

Yeah I saw it, BMWE90. It's not really my kind of car though.

E90-4life · 02-11-2006, 02:22 PM

Leuxs is TRASH period.

Enroutte · 02-11-2006, 02:26 PM

I drive a Volvo.

Lol the previous post I made was toward Enroutte. I posted it and your post was already there. Anyways, yeah I saw the new camry 2 weeks ago I think. And I saw it again during the Superbowl game. It is a nice car, but it's too big/bloated for me. If you look at it, it looks just like the Avalon. I prefer the ES over the camry. I know I know it's nothing more than a rebadged camry, but I gotta hand it to them: the new ES does look very nice. I couldnt save the pix they have on their website but yeah. It looks nice in Phantom grey.

Nikki · 02-11-2006, 02:33 PM

here's the Camry

Enroutte · 02-11-2006, 02:37 PM

I would drive the new camry. I bet if that was otu when I was picking out a car, my mom would have bought that. Good thing I rished.

BMW F22 · 02-11-2006, 02:38 PM

ehhh...it's a big car. I dont like to drive big cars. I never need the space. I drove a 2002 camry and it was a boat. Camry's just dont do it for me. The ES is more luxurious than even the most luxurious camry.

Nikki · 02-11-2006, 02:41 PM

I've never driven the ES but my dad did and he said it was realllly boring. He said it was really comfortable and quiet but not fun to drive in any way.

Enroutte · 02-11-2006, 02:44 PM

i dont really care if cars are boring. i just like them if they're pretty.

Of course. It was only meant to be luxury, not sporty in any way. I think most Toyota cars are like that. So far, BMW is the most fun I've had with a car. But sometimes I just want a relaxing, comfortable and smooth ride. I would say for everyday driving the BMW is the best, it's fun to drive. But for going on dates (to a ball or something, I'd like to take the ES out sometimes). I think that's all it really comes down to. I would never, EVER choose an ES over a 3 series. Just wanted to say that the new one looks nice.

I think Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars (not coupes) are very boring looking. Toyota's always played it safe by going with conservative styles. For the new Camry though, they're taking the risk of going with a more stylish design. I think this will pay off big time for them.

Fenianz · 02-11-2006, 05:17 PM

Never been a fan when automakers badge cars. Few examples are Acura TL- Honda Accord Sedan
Nissan Armada- Infiniti QX56

Although I know there obviously more luxurious but never really been a fan of that.

SCA · 02-11-2006, 10:28 PM

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Lexus = Japanese Buick.

Curt3s · 02-11-2006, 11:51 PM

Yuck.

shragon · 02-12-2006, 12:17 AM

not bad for a rebadged camry! probably doesn't drive very well, but would make a good family car i guess.
