 | Re: 2008 Sport Sedans As a Legacy/Liberty spec B owner, it has to be my choice. It has excellent steering response, body control, and cornering ability. In the rain or dry, there is no danger of the car losing control thanks to the constant 4WD system. |

| Re: 2008 Sport Sedans Uh....the ES350 is clearly NOT a sports sedan, it is the exact opposite. The Lexus IS350 is the car for this segment. My choices: 1. Infiniti G35 2. VW Passat 3. Chrysler 300C The rest...uh...NO. M |

| Re: 2008 Sport Sedans Just cuz there is a VR6 engine in the Passat doesn't make it any more of a sports sedan than a souped up accord. Honestly from all those cars, there is only 3 cars that are actual "sport sedans" and those would be G35/37, Subaru Legacy and of course the MazdaSpeed 6 My choice. 1. G35/37 2. Mazdaspeed 6 3. Legacy |

| Re: 2008 Sport Sedans What you're saying is true and out of all of them the ES is the least sporting of the bunch. There isn't a sporting weld in its body. M |

| Re: 2008 Sport Sedans Well I wouldn't say that. The ES is a benchmark Lexus. Quiet, comfortable, bland to a fault and even more reliable. There is no better entry-level retiree car in the world IMO. It is one of the cars that the house of Lexus was built on, but it just doesn't belong here. M |
