Inside you there are two wolves, and inside Lexus, there’s the Lexus IS vs ES, two very different luxury sedans that represent two distinct halves of the brand: the past and the future. The Lexus IS is emblematic of the old company’s ethos, with its big ol’ spindle grille, and a cabin that cocoons you in a sea of soft, squishy leather, analog metallic switchgear, and pitch-perfect ergonomics. Meanwhile, the Lexus ES is a sneak peek of Lexus’ future, mostly grille-less, with its sharp, edgy design, not to mention a tech-heavy interior, eschewing leather and metal for futuristic, cyberpunk-y minimalism.
