NeiLtYmE Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 probably from folks that try to come up with any reason they can find to diss lexus. Mainly, honda lovers... or those who cant afford one, or have had bad experiences ... etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 mine is a 2003 es300.look at the body lines and overall shape compared to the ford. ← Not even close jack :chairshot: It begs the question however......if it looks like a Taurus in your eyes & it's bothering you so much, why did you buy the ES in the first place then?

I just thought it looked like a ford from the angle in that picture. the side door designs are just too similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The ES330 isnt any quicker. It is sluggish I agree, my only complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeiLtYmE Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 true, very little difference in acceleration. hmm.. i wonder why that is being that it is a larger engine by .3 L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The change in displacement was basically to help fuel economy, not acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I've drive both a 300 and 330; no difference in acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Intresting as there is a boost in both the horsepower & more importantly, the torque department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouDontKnowJack Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 no way! Lexus has one ugly butt, and it's on the new GS. it does not look luxurious at all. When i first saw JUST the rear end of the new GS, I thought it was a HYUNDAI!!!..... until I saw the L logo.... I'd say overall, lexus is going down on rear end design. The new IS350 rear looks ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93LSOwner Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think comparing two cars is just ridiculous. BUT, Which one is the Lexus? Bottom or top *from a pervious topic, about the same pointless issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
