Price of the Lexus ES: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20084dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start).

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys.
