I think both versions have Direct Injection. i.e.: the IS350 has D-4S version with direct and port injectors where the Camry/Avalon/RAV4 version has a single injector (D-4)
Correct if I'm wrong here.

I think the last time I used a cassette player was like back in 1992.

I'm the Firestarter
The TL comes with a cassette player, I saw it at the dealership last week while going for a CSX test drive.
This ES actually looks good, although overall it's still a bit porky. But way, WAY better than the old ES. Looks like it's unanimous.

damn...another lexus car that i like 
front reminds me of the RL but from the side, it definitely looks like an ES. and overall, has similarities to the rest of the lexus line-up.
very nice!

my favorite thing about that car is the engine start button.. i still have never pressed one of those before.
but thats actually a nice ES. a hell lot nicer looking than my mom's current ES330 that shes dragging around. plus shes already thinking to get rid of it. the bulging bugeyes are creeping her out right now.

I don't see anymore similiarities with this new ES with a Camry anymore I don't think.

^ Actually, now that I've seen the entire dash and console layout, the oval top of the console doens't bother me nearly as much as it did before. I think the interior's beautiful.

I m beginning to think i made the right choice when i waited for the IS. I might just jump into the ES instead. I wonder how much a decently equipped one would cost.
BTW, casette space = ipod adapter.

This turned out to be a really nice car.
Looks like the console is positioned towards the driver
Probably wasn't necessary but in the end it most likely makes things easier to reach.
