I think the new ES is definitely for people who cares about cars, it has new styling and sportiness that I would definitely say appeals to younger buyers, myself included.

A few things: The ES is on an Avalon platform, so it's more of an Avalon than a Camry. I also disagree about ES drivers not caring about cars. It has a soft cushy ride, some people prefer that to twitchy and overly responsive. It doesn't mean that they don't like cars if they're not into sports cars.

Such a cynical review for no reason. At 36k its hard to find a full sized luxury sedan that has plenty of options to start with. You can't have it all at this price point.. Its not as sporty as BMW, but its way bigger and much more comfortable, which definitely does not translate into person not caring about cars. It means they want to feel more refreshed after a long drive in traffic. Not everyone lives around twisty canyon roads where they could have a blast. Some people commute in traffic for hours on daily basis. Just because they would get a more comfy Lexus over a more sporty BMW doesn't mean they don't like cars or are not enthusiasts.

I bought this Lexus in the hybrid version coming from a 1998 BMW E36 and an 2003 Audi A6. After pounding my BMW 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and making turns that cut corners like a hot knife through butter, I'm sick of it! The Lexus provides me the "fun" of having a serene and comfortable ride as opposed to the roller coaster "fun" of the german cars I have. Yes I know about progressive breaking and you know what? Sometimes I don't want that! I think it's EXTREMELY fun to drive in my Lexus like a dainty aristocrat!

Bought one because I didn't want to settle for a 4 cylinder Camry, despite a Camry being a whole generation newer for similar $$$$. Maybe I should have bought the GS350, it does drive nicer, but they were like 3-4k more used with more miles than the ES350. Plus the ES gets better fuel mileage, bigger back seat, bigger trunk, conventional coil springs/struts vs the expensive to replace electronic shocks on a GS.

I really enjoy driving but my enjoyment evolves a quiet and smooth ride since I drive 100 miles a day all highway. Because of my long driving, I would have a reliable car like a Lexus. I also agree with you that this ES350 is by no means a canyon carver, a IS or GS are better in this regard. I also like the Cadillac ATS, but I think I would rather wait for the first model year to pass so they can work out the bugs(a friend of mine with a Cadillac ATS is having many issues with it)

By the way this guy knows nothing about cars and is a very bad reviewer.

Well his POV is wrong. A good reviewer should know when and where to put in his POV. Stereotyping is not a good POV. Racism is not a good POV. Discrimination is not a good POV.

Who the heck is he to tell what an enthusiast should like and not like.
