SW03ES Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 You do see a lot of ES cues in it. However, I think this is likely to be indicative of the next GS, not the next ES. When the LF-Ch concept came out, it morphed into the CT. The LF-Sh as a concept showed us the new LS. Plus, this car is RWD...which the ES will never be.

rob_es350 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 great pics steve didn't realize this was a RWD car, so agree that es is not head this way wish they offered the es with AWD, believe that would attract a lot of new buyers that was probably the biggest thing I gave up when purchasing the es over some of the AWD competitors
LexBob2 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Quite a few ES competitors offer AWD. LaCrosse, Taurus, G37, Acura TL etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the ES gets it some time in the future.
SW03ES Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 The ES may very well be AWD or have an AWD option. It will never be RWD though because it will always be based off of the Camry. If its AWD, it will be front biased AWD like an Acura.

If its AWD, it will be front biased AWD like an Acura. It would be interesting to know what percentage of total U.S. Acura TL sales are FWD/AWD. It's probably anyones guess. 60/40, 70/30, 80/20?? I'm sure it varies by region of the country

I'm sure it varies by region of the country In NY, most dealers barely stock the FWD..couldn't sell um , and I believe the 2012's ONLY come with AWD, and the 3.7 engine makes sense..price on the 2011 AWD with came with the larger engine was just another 3k or so
pj8708 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I skipped the Lf-Gh. Wrote a check on petty cash account for the LFA instead. Suits my needs better like going to the store for bread and milk, beer, etc. Also will probably have more horse power to tow the tanker for the extra gas I'll need! The Lf-Gh is just so yesterday man! LOL Pulling your leg guy's. Paul
