To sell well in Singapore, you need:

 

1. the reliability of a Toyota

2. the brand of a Lexus

3. the smallest possible displacement

 

The newly updated ES range, with a new 2.0L engine, really hoseh liao. Even the current ES250 is already quite well priced compared to its stablemates (eg GS). It just needs to be slightly more competitive before we have a bestseller.

Some how, the cabin space of the 200 series Lexus is small.

 

Maybe I am too big.

I just read the fine print :o

 

New for 2016 in specific markets is a 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine. Engineered to meet China's fuel economy regulations, the D4 engine will be offered in China, Russia and Taiwan. In the U.S., the luxury sedan will continue with its exceptionally smooth 3.5-liter V-6 engine and a gasoline-electric hybrid powerplant, while other markets also have a 2.5-liter L4 version.

I don't know why people keep saying this car looks boring. It's one of the few cars that make me turn my head in the flesh.

The length and proportion is just nice for a upmarket executive sedan. I like the look of the rear.


It is a rebadged camry, but damn looks a lot classier than the camry haha.

Unlikely to be sold here.

It'd compete against the Camry (another volume seller) within the same Borneo Motors stable.

WOW!!! Nice car!! Love the interior shown on the pictures!!! [bounce1][bounce1][bounce1]

Not those too glossy one. To me still acceptable. They offer matt finish in the GS. That is classy to me. Maybe i am a real ah pek. The f sport trim has aluminium instead of wood but will get dented when you hit it with the right thing the right way.
