Lexus LS should really get a new generation instead of dying since it’s the model that first started the brand

Just glad to see another survive the sedan apocalypse.

The interior is what will save the ES and LS. They have to go all out on their new models. The current ES interior is exceptionally well-built.

I have ES350 2024 and I love it!!!! An amazing ride, 10x better than my previous Mercedes

[jeffs]

With the vast improvements to the Camry, I've been waiting for the ES to get redone!!

I love Lexus! Ive had 2 ESs! Still got one 265000 miles baby! Very low maintance! Come on 2026! ❤

I am so happy to own my 2019 ES F-Sport.
I am holding to my favorite car ever. Last V6.

You need to stop with those “Home Alone” thumbnails

If the ES500 has rear wheel steering it would be fantastic.

We need a lexus wagon come on guys I don't want to buy a v90. I want a L90

[XanderSheridan]

i hope they make a plug in hybrid version and put the 300 hp system from the Rav4 in it.

Kirk i got the 25 Camry for my daily driver. Its way better than i expected. Looking forward to a new ES for our going out on weekends and cross county travel. It has blow the 25 camry away and my XLE drives pretty nice.

An ES350h AWD and dual motor electric hybrid will be the sweet spot for a new ES IMO. I own the 2023 ES300h, which is wonderful; however, an AWD with dual electric motors would be preferable. That will give you more horsepower without sacrificing MPG too much.

Kirk, Please keep rooting through the Japanese magazines until you find a preview of an ES Wagon. 😉🤩

Love love love the ES. I have the 2013 ( with the wood) just waiting for the plug in hybrid or full electric! Such a smooth car and so comfy. Great video Kirk, as always! Love your excitement and knowledge of the ES and everything Lexus. Thank you for a great video and can't believe Abe is crawling already!❤

[SecretObservant]

Lexus should know better to not screw up the ES both design-wise and powertrain-wise. I hope Lexus will not drop the IS but rather make the IS price lower than the ES. I might be the only one that likes the size of IS but wants the interior of ES.

[KuyaArbee]

can't wait! come on LEXUS HURRY UP! I wish the UX concept was brought to live instead of that small hatchback type >.<

[bbordelon]

Waiting, waiting, waiting on baited breath. Checkbook ready. I do hope the ES will maintain a real wood option. BMW5 still has it, the ES's direct competitor. Thanks Kirk, keep it coming!

I hope LS does not go away, personally when I think of Lexus that is the model that comes to mind- it’s kind of like it’s the face of Lexus. Also in regard to electric - personally I think these manufactures need to put the pressure on building out the infrastructure. To me owning an electric car would not be that bad if there charge stations as common as gas stations, it took maybe 10 mins to fully charge, and they were not as affected by cold weather as they are now. It’s really no wonder ev sales are starting to falter, plus add in the average price of an ev.

The destruction of the LS brought about by its own parent comp any (Lexus) really pains my heart. Lexus has really lost some of its brand appeal😢
