That interior is quite ugly.

Alright, "L-Finesse" is getting carried away! It does look better than the last one though.

Looks like the LS. Better than before but not for my liking.

The front looks like a hybrid of the new Audi A4s and Acura TLs.
Doesn't look bad though, would require a little time to grow on me, like most newly designed cars.

Doesn't look that different from the old one, but it is slightly better looking. I hate slippery wood mixed in with leather on steering wheels. Needs to have a solid leather steering wheel IMO. The interior is unusual looking. Nothing "looks wise" about this new car makes make me want to buy one.

The wheels and wheelwells somehow look weird to me... Maybe the wheels are too small? Or maybe it's I'm just used to seeing rims and low profile tires? Who knows.

Agreed. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that now that the IS/GS/ES look so similar (due to L-finesse) they are going to start to look dated in a few years when we start seeing more of them on the road. It's the same thing that's happening to a lot of Nissan/Infiniti cars that share overall design styles. I like the idea of a brand having trade-mark design cues (BMW/Audi grills, etc...) but when an entire line just starts to look like smaller and bigger versions of the same car it starts to make them look old before their time.

Just imo, of course.

I actually like it much getter than the current ES. We are in the market for a new one for the wife to replace her 10 year old ES 300. We will check this out. On a side not we test drove a new Gs for the weekend and were very impressed by everything excpt the visibility.

Just get the Camry, it's the same car.

The exterior is more sporty but the interior is quite ugly. The front and back are very nice but the side profile is still bulky looking...it reminds me of the new GS a bit....my interior is much more elegant in design.

I've pretty much decided to look at IS350s and the new LS460 in any event. I've had a great run in ESs but now it is time to step up into something new.

I see a lot more Camry in this one versus the current gen ES. I think I'd stick with the IS or GS.
