I have found a couple other Lexus F-Sport trims to not really live up to the labels promise of a sporty and fun drive, and I highly doubt the ES is any better. It may be the least sporty sedan in their lineup. It is well crafted, basic luxury transportation.
Isn't the ES a re-skinned Camry/Avalon (GA-K platform)? Looks about as interesting, that's for sure. That nose is pure drivel, just ugh. Somehow Lexus has just never been my thing. 300 HP through the front wheels is going to produce some fun torque steer and 'interesting' handling though.... Still the ES never had any sporty pretensions, it's a car for people who want Camry like predictability/boorishness but don't want a Toyota badge.....
The interior of the car in the video is horribly ugly. The gray color makes it look like a stripped down military or government truck. The exterior styling is identical to a Toyota. Like Cadillac imitating Chevrolet. Would Lincoln style their vehicles just like a Ford? Come to think of it, they do.
Also, there are more controls on that steering wheel than there are on the entire dashboard of a 2000 Lexus.
