I would love to go to Portugal; is it "cheaper" than some of the other EU countries to travel?Thankfully this guy is not a salesman at Lexus Porto... After this review he would easily and quickly get me into a brand new ES300h.
Even the exterior color is perfect!

That 300h powertrain is so good... there really isn't much to complain about. I still have a heavier foot and it's not quite enough for me, but with another 30-40hp, I think we'd be in the zone.
try highlander... it has around 20hp extra from electric motors, see if you see the diff. It is so hard to get any good input on this since US media does not care to compare it to Rav4, but they all said how it goes well which is what they wouldnt say if it was just same as Rav4.

Highlander is 1k lbs heavier than ES, but I would still like to try one!
From what I read a ES Prime would be a perfect fit then.
Agreed!!! I'm dying for that powertrain in the ES.
you will probably get it sooner than later... Question is always the price.
US will be decently priced for Rav4 Prime... but I doubt most EU countries will.
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like the ES enjoys some extra runway with the demise of the GS and because it starts so much cheaper than the 5er, E Class, etc. If "ES 450h+", as we can surmise based on the NX patents, comes with a 302hp plugin powertrain and AWD, I feel like approaching $60k for such a vehicle is not unfair. And would likely put a serious hurting on plugin versions of the competition š¬
