#8 of 2728 Re: 2007 Lexus ES [maxhonda99] by alpha01 Jun 08, 2005 (8:00 am)
Replying to: maxhonda99 (Jun 08, 2005 7:13 am) As in the stock market, I dont know that the past is an indicator of future performance. Sure, the ES has always been on a full 5 year production run, but so was the Avalon. And the Corolla for the past several generations. (The Sienna also didnt do Toyota's typical 5 year cycle). Plus, it has already leaked that the next Camry will arrive by March of 2006 due to the extremely competitive landscape. If thats the case, which I believe it is, why would Toyota choose to run two generations of Camry and ES concurrently. So for me personally, I think its more likely than not that the next ES will arrive in the Spring/Summer 06 timeframe.   ~alpha Replies to this message: jstockton (Jan 30, 2006 4:06 pm) bluesman3 (Jan 30, 2006 5:05 pm) jstockton (Jan 30, 2006 9:29 pm)

I am likewise thinking Spring 06. Toyota usually releases its vehicles in the spring, no? Just in time for people to be paying off their Christmas debts
#10 of 2728 I Agree by jchan2 Jun 08, 2005 (5:22 pm)
Toyota would probably not have two generations of Camry/ES running at the same time, so whenever the new Camry comes out, I expect the new ES to come out too, which points to a Spring 2006 introduction.
#11 of 2728 ES350 pictures anyone? by asaw Jun 11, 2005 (11:19 pm)
Does anybody have pictures of this soon to be released model?
#12 of 2728 I'd have to agree by callmedrfill Jun 11, 2005 (11:48 pm)
But the ONLY reason it will come out early is to clear the field for the new LS in Fall of 06.        If they came out at the same time, that would cripple the ES, and would not help the LS either, so the release will be early.        I wouldn't wait up for a 300Hp FWD ES, with a 240HP GS above it.        An AWD Hybrid with 300HP for '08-09 is a real possibility.        DrFill Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jun 12, 2005 5:07 am) motownusa (Jun 12, 2005 6:35 am) jchan2 (Jun 12, 2005 6:53 am)

Replying to: callmedrfill (Jun 11, 2005 11:48 pm) I'm guessing the ES330 will get around 240-255 horsepower. Past generations of the ES have never promoted horsepower but instead promoted luxury, a smooth ride, and a very serene driving experience.

Replying to: jchan2 (Jun 12, 2005 5:07 am) I doubt the next Lexus will have less than the 280 Hp of the Avalon. The Avalon is also FWD with virtually no torque steer. Remember, the Avalon's 260 lb-ft of torque comes at 4700 rpm. This is a smooth relatively high revving engine that can produce 280+ Hp without losing any quietness or smoothness. The 3.5L V6 is smoother and more refined than the current 3.3L engine. Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jun 12, 2005 6:53 am)

That Japanese MagX website had a shot of the rear end. It has the new Lexus look with the narrow IS style tail lights. It's not on their front page anymore, so I think you might have to have a password to get more info/pics, or at least know Japanese in order to navigate the site to the archives where that one picture might be.
#17 of 2728 I've read many times by alpha01 Jun 12, 2005 (1:03 pm)
that Toyota has trademarked the 'ES350' badge for the Lexus brand, so I think the next ES will most certainly be using that engine.   ~alpha Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jun 12, 2005 1:27 pm)
