The 2007 Lexus ES 350 is an “uninspired, costly sedan [that] has no shock-and-awe features,” writes Anita Lienert for the Detroit News. Firstly, Lienert wasn’t impressed with the car’s unusual interior design. “The kimono effect was lost on me. I looked out from behind the steering wheel of the ES 350 and all I could see is that giant ‘snowshoe’ that holds a lot of the controls. Or maybe it looks more like an alien’s head.” She concedes the engine is both powerful and efficient, but that’s not enough to save the vehicles from a thumbs down. “The ES 350 is competent and impressive in some ways, especially in terms of gas mileage with such a powerful engine,” writes Lienert. “But it’s not compelling and it’s just too expensive when you start adding options.”
