LexKid630 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 The oval dash was killing me... so I fixed it: How the... WOW that looks so real! Looks much better! nice job!
SW03ES Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Send that to Lexus please. Seriously. I'll write a check for $40,000 then we'll zerox it (and destroy the original for sure LOL) and send it along with that check to Lexus. If you make this=(the new photoshopped pic) You get this=(the copy of the check) LOL
steviej Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 MUCH better took the words from my mouth. Now it doesn't look so Taurusy. Send that to Lexus please. Seriously. I'll write a check for $40,000 then we'll zerox it (and destroy the original for sure LOL) and send it along with that check to Lexus. If you make this=(the new photoshopped pic) You get this=(the copy of the check) LOL I'll do it too. I wonder if it is too late for them to redesign. sj

Really... it's a small price to pay. ;)
YouDontKnowJack Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 today is media preview day at chicago. should be a ton more pictures online
Lexusfreak Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 The oval dash was killing me... so I fixed it: Thats what I'm talking about! B) Only 90 minutes until the new ES is offically made public! :D
byohzrd Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I haven't had a chance to check this site out very thoroughly, but it appears to be a launch site, with live streams of the unveiling at the Chicago Auto Show. There are also a few preview/teaser videos. 2007 ES Launch
Lexusfreak Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Apparently this is also a good possibility..... http://www.lexus.com/autoshow & then click on live auto show cam for the unveiling.....we still have about 10 mins. B)
ko90ls Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 And the verdict is....... BEAST! never really wanted a ES until now... it's just, so, beautiful! :D http://www.lexus.com/2007es_preview/index.html Camry vs ES350 - DASHBOARDS Which one do YOU like best?! Craig!! :) add in the new LS and i think the LS is best due to sheer excellence. but i also think that the oval center console is what really seperates the ES from the Camry (plus the UGLY grill). I think toyota is basing the new Camry interior on the normal Lexus interior which is what everyone here is used to (and those who aren't WILL LOVE IT = SALES!) but if you check the new ES website they have a theme for the car "a new flower blooming?" just what is is! I commend Lexus for taking a bold step in a new direction even if it doesn't go too well. if that turns you off the 272hp should correct that! i also do think that the Camry HYBRID's taillights are better than the ES but then again they probably will cost about the same... <_< P.S. is it just me, or does this car ROCK! beats the BMW 5 series hands down
Rx330driver Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 yeah, i agree about the center oval dash things, but other aspects of this car make up for that fault. i think it still looks great, especially the front
98OysterES300 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Here's some good pictures of the 2007 ES350
SW03ES Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 See, after all that the better pics look pretty damn good. I feel better about it. Here are more pics: Here are all the options etc. This is why Lexus doesn't want photos leaked. These pictures are MUCH more attractive. I would trade my 03 in on this. Here's all the options etc: http://pressroom.toyota.com/presstxt/2007l...2007ES350_s.pdf Here are even more pics: Even this is working for me now that I can see how steeply its raked Whats everyone else think?
dcfish Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Some more: It is a beautiful car, No doubt. I really dislike the sunroof. When panels are raised and retracted it looks cheap and ruins the roofline. How embarrasing.
LexKid630 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Still don't know why they removed the optitron gauges :( These new gauges look like every other avg. car out there and the oval dash thing doesn't look as bad from the afar.

How embarrasing. Thats why the panoramic roof is an option. Still don't know why they removed the optitron gauges These are optitron gauges, they're just not as deeply inset as we're used to. Everyone is copying those gauges now, Lexus has to make them unique somehow.

SW03ES Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I'm liking it more as I look at it. You can definately see the resemblance to the old car like you can in the GS, LS, and IS. I like the interior, although the oval top of the center stack and the reduction in the overall amount of wood will take some getting used to. I have a feeling it will look pretty stark in black... I don't understand why they didn't put some wood along the top of the dash and the door panels. The new LS has wood in this location, and it would have tied in with the LS and ES being the luxury based cars and the GS and IS being sportier. I really like the new wheels with the Graphite finish (on the UL car only)... I might think about one of these next summer...

At first i was not sure if i liked the oval dash or not, but the more i looked at it the more i liked it. ;) I really like the start and stop button. I love the body style. I like the roof a lot. I think that it is great that the people in the back seat can see out the sunroof. My son loves to look out the sunroof so that is a plus imo. I think that black would be great on this car.
