2008 Lexus ES (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The Lexus ES 350 is quick and quiet at the same time. It's screwed together better than a Swiss watch, and it has sex appeal. With its new design and all the new standard equipment, the ES 350 ranks among the fiercest competitors in the entry-luxury segment. We think it's an excellent choice among luxury sedans, particularly when comfort and ride quality are priorities.
New Car Test Drive correspondent Jim McCraw filed this report from Hawaii.
