First of all, I'm glad to have found these forums. You guys have great info but, leap before you look. The A-spec hasn't been shown! Those are models with the same accessories! From the forums the two things that stick in my mind are the badging and the Steering wheel...They are specific to the A-spec and no one's pictures have proven it either! Might I add the car is too high to have been lowered 1.2" as well...

I hope you mean a Lexus ES330, not a Camry right?

Thanks for the great photos. Now that I've finally seen a pic of the Abyss Blue, I can go put a deposit down for it!

Is there really a diff in the performance between the two ? To me one just cost more then the other ... i wasnt really paying attention to tell you the truth. I was pretty tierd at that point having to get up early to get to the hotel b4 they left.

I test drove the ES330 yesterday. What a dog. I think they were competing with the Chrysler 300M-S to see who could get the least out of their engine. Any attempt to accelerate would drop the engine into overdrive, where it pauses a second before lurching ahead, then you get scared it's going to break so you back off the pedal and it lurches back into the higher gear. The interior was nice, but for $35K???

The Camry/ES have bigger engines, but less power. It doesn't make sense to me...I thought they would at least equal the Accord and Camry. I think they are building cars for a much older age bracket than Honda.

I was just reading an article that said the Solara should have been badged a Lexus...I thought Hyundai Tiburon2.
