timzter Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 OK, from what little I saw in the video, I think I like it enough to swap out my 2010 ES 350 with the 2013 ES 350. I like the more "serious-looking" dashboard (not that horse-shoe shape that I have now) and the butt viewed straight on from behind seems to look a bit more substantial (wider?) than my current ES's. The front grill also looks pretty neat. So, yeah, I think I will swap it out this December or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 The more I see it the more I like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexPaul Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yes indeed, agreed, the more I see these two, the more I'm seriously considering trading in my 09......Still looking hard at GS as well.....Lexus has really laid down a serious challenge to the competition especially the Germans.....These two cars really compliment each other, that ending is too cool...

LexBob2 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Very nice teaser commercial! It compliments the ad blitz on the new GS. I also like the one for the current gen ES that's running now, with the ES and competeing German cars on an elevator/lift kind of gizmo, which touts the standard features on an ES that you pay extra for on the others.

timzter Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It sure looks a lot like the 2013 GS though, both inside and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timzter Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looks like this is the official 2013 ES 350 website: http://www.lexus.com/ES-2013/ Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timzter Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The "lower stance" means more likelihood of scraping the bottom of the front bumper against the curb. I hate it when that happens. You realize what you just did and then reverse to pull back the car from the curb and hear that god-awful scraping sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah and its already so easy to do that with our cars. It was a big adjustment for me coming from the 2003, because the 2010 is MUCH lower in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timzter Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I always wonder how they park the Scion. It is almost kissing the road. So any news on what the MSRP will be for the 2013 ES 350, with nav package? I hope it's the same as the 2010 in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 My guess is it will be very similar, if not identical to what ours cost. I bet they'll have tome higher option packages and the hybrid loaded will be like $49k or so, but I bet you can get a navigation car for $40-41k.
