More to the point, it looks exactly like what we saw in a set of Chinese spy shots that we posted last month, so really, there isn’t much left for us to speculate on in terms of design.

The Camry-based Lexus mid-sizer will likely debut in ES 350 guise, powered by Toyota’s tried-and-true 3.5-liter V6.

Regardless, Lexus states that the new ES will feature “a new dynamic driving experience.” We’ll see about that.
