Alheych 6th Gear April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 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.

Achtung 6th Gear April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 Some how, the cabin space of the 200 series Lexus is small. Maybe I am too big.

Alheych 6th Gear April 29, 2015 Author Share April 29, 2015 I just read the fine print 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.

Lala81 Hypersonic April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzzme 3rd Gear April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 Unlikely to be sold here. It'd compete against the Camry (another volume seller) within the same Borneo Motors stable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthboy 4th Gear April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 WOW!!! Nice car!! Love the interior shown on the pictures!!! 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.
