[Aki Ko]

Well, this isn't going to go down well...

 

[Epic B]

Meh. It's a Camry by any other name, and it's just as unexciting.

 

[Wiegert]

Rebadged Toyota Camry for a higher price.​

And a pair of pulled-back headlights to give it that added "urgh" factor.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Sorry, I nodded off for a second.

Uncool.

 

[JTB10000]

Boring car.

Uncool.

 

[20832]

Doesn't matter if it has a Lexus badge on the front, it's still a Toyota Camry underneath, which is THE "meh" - est car in existence.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Doesn't have the right engine to do it right.

 

[GTRacer22]

Rebadging of a boring car doesn't make it any less boring. Uncool.

 

[Dennisch]

 

[Dagger311]

Meh.

 

[TexRex]

 

[Tornado]

Ew. Just buy a damn Avalon.

 

[Danny]

Uncool.

 

[Doog]

Lexus Cool Wall posts are always depressing to read through, but the ES epitomizes what enthusiasts hate about Lexus.

 

[TexRex]

what enthusiasts hate about Lexus

"Mr. X wants to be seen in a Lexus--can't afford a GS."?

 

[Wiegert]

Uncool.

Styling conducted in-house by Croydone Liftingfacciale. Inspired by Edgar.

 

[Adamgp]

Camry in a cheap tuxedo.

SU.

 

[Aphelion]

Well, this isn't going to go down well...

So, mate, do you like this lexus?

 

[Aki Ko]

So, mate, do you like this lexus?

No, because even I say the ES is boring. I also just call it a Toyota Avalon, which is the "Lexus" of Toyota. It's essentially for the "older" people; hell, even my own car is kinda biased to the middle aged men.

My mother wanted one as well.

And knowing the GTP community, I knew this car wasn't going to go down well.

Ok then.

 

[All Your Base]

Toyota Camry for the retirement crowd. Seriously Uncool. The only Lexuses I don't find Uncool or Seriously Uncool are the IS F, the LF-A, and the SC300.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Only Uncool, because this is most assuredly not a car that was designed to even exist in the same neighbourhood as Cool.

 

[Crash]

Beige, which would usually garner a "meh", but I think the blobness hasn't aged well at all. so it drops to uncool.

 

[ScottPuss20]

How unattractive and utterly boring. Uncool

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Blends into the background. Uncool.

 

[Stotty]

SU... looks only its designer could love.

 

[The87Dodge]

Just an average looking midsize car. Nothing cool about it, but nothing seriously uncool about it.

Uncool.

 

[JR98]

It's based off a Camry. Anything based off a Camry gets a meh or worse.

 

[Legro]

Their way of selling something for higher price based on the plain badge shows great windom.
