ES330 is a hit. One of the most popular sedans is the Camry. The ES330 is based off of the Camry, but it is almost 100% different inside and out. It uses the same drivetrain but the interior is top-notch (real wood) and the exterior is different.
RX330 is a beautiful car. Have you ever driven one? It is based off of the Highlander which is another high volume selling car. The Highlander is a wonderful car with terrific gas mileage for an SUV with that power. The RX330 has a beautiful interior and a good looking exterior.
GX470 is for all the off-road loving people who want luxury. You will not find a car like this that has this much luxury. This is Land Rover territory and I think the GX470 has it beat.
LS430 is exactly what it is. Old man's rich car. When the Q45 came out it was praised by almost every magazine. Lexus sold more because the Lexus is more for the older crowd. Older people have more money. The interior of the Lexus LS430 is AMAZING.
SC430 is boring on the outside but it has great specs and a beautiful interior. Girls love this car. Doctors who want to impress girls love this car.
Did I miss anything?
actually the highlander is based off the rx330, which is known as the toyota harrier in much of the world. and i think they're fugly. especially with green tinted glass in the back that every single one of them comes with. and with the forward leaning liftgate that a) looks stupid (especially with the wing on it, wtf) b) cuts into your cargo space (not that anyone ever put anything besides a gucci bag in their UFO/station wagon)
i like how a lot of people in this thread think they're suggesting a counter point when they're not. i didn't say anything about the interiors, how they drive (like yachts on wheels), or anything but the exterior. and lexus seriously makes the fugliest exterior designs of any car make, except maybe mitsubishi (the new eclipse is horriffic).
and acuras look better than lexii. so do infinitis (well.. the q looks like a pinto bean). so do mercs. and bmw (except the 7 series... and the z3, ert, z4... wtf was bangle smoking?). and caddies (if you don't like how new caddies look you are a woman, plain and simple). but the sc430 is the fugliest thing on the road today. they aren't that nice looking with the top down and they are absolutely awful with the top up. they're sports cars for people who don't want sports cars.
