YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start).
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys.

2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 For $80,000 I expect more from a vehicle.
2010 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 $1100 per month. Lots of other cars that are almost as nice and much cheaper.
2008 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 With options, it can get pricey.
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The price on this car is a tough pill to swallow for working class people. If it were not for a great trade-in, I probably could not justify the price.
