I think the center stack looks wrong and the lower part of the front end looks like the Bugatti.

Actually, now that I think about it, the center stack and the front end are a combination of the front of the Bugatti:

I can see the RL distinction, but don't forget the styling of the LF-A, which had a very pronounced nose as well. Everyone is going to pronounced noses, so I don't think this new ES is really all that much ripping off the RL.

This ES definitely smacks of a smaller GS, and it does looks like a slightly nicer Avalon/Camry on the outside, so it's not that original. I'd want it to look better if I were to buy one. The inside is nice though. The dash is definitly better than the lame GS dash design. And are you guys telling me you would *not* want to move shifters and press buttons on something that looked like uh, that which makes females female?

Brings whole new meaning to the phrase "Can't find the button."

Another boring, generic Lexus made for people who are about to die. This car excites me as much as the new Ford Expedition.

Oh and that centre console is awful.

It looks pretty generic and boring to me. Just like the new IS =\

Frankly I think that Infinity's new designs are rocking Lexus'es.
