  Lexus ES - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lexus ES series is a family of mid-size sedans produced by the Lexus division of Toyota from 1989 to the present and built in Tsutsumi, Japan.
The fifth-generation ES 350 was unveiled in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model, and is a major redesign.
The ES 250 was based on the Toyota Vista—a model never sold in the United States—which in turn shared the body and chassis of the Toyota Camry.

 Lexus launches version five of entry-lux sedan, the ES 350 - Automotive news and opinions - Auto123.com - Canadian ...
When the first version of the Lexus ES was introduced in 1990, Toyota Canada officials were simultaneously trying to smile and hold their noses.
None of them pretended the original ES four-door sedan was anything but a thinly disguised Camry and therefore not indicative or where they wanted Lexus to go, but more importantly that it didn't even come close to the wonders of the more expensive Lexus LS 400 that debuted at the same time.
But what was easily the worst Lexus ever lasted for less than a year before being replaced by the ES 300, and now we are on the verge of the fifth iteration of the ES, the 2007 350, and Lexus dealers don't have to worry about nothing to put in their showrooms any more.

 Straightline - 2007 Lexus ES 350: Not as soft as its predecessor?
Well, says Paul Williamsen, Toyota product education manager, the new ES will offer "a real level of luxury but with a driving experience that doesn't disappoint." Important to this mission is a new 272-hp 3.5L V6 and six-speed automatic that get the car to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, according to Lexus.
The ES and the Acura TL used to be direct competitors until the 2004 model year, when the redesigned TL tilted decidedly towards the "sport" end of the spectrum.
With this ES redesign, Lexus distances the car from the Camry more so than previous generations (though, there is still a pretty good resemblance) and manages to give the ES an attitude that teases you with performance aspirations while maintaining the comfortabel ride and luxurious atmosphere that has made it so successful.

Lexus has made a car for whom who can't afford a LS,so that he can still have fun or peace of mind by keeping a new Lexus in his garage.
I'm sure this ES is much improved and will continue to sell like pancakes, but the interior and exterior styling brings new meaning to the words "boring," "unexceptional" and "been there, done that." Along with the small SUV, this is Lexus' bread and butter vehicle.
It is for this reason that the ES is the best selling luxury car within that price range because it caters to people who are looking for Luxury at an affordable price and at the same time not a sports sedan but one that just pampers you.
