The ES is RWD the Camry is FWD. They are not related.

David, the ES is FWD...how many times do we have to tell you?
The Lexus website says it, all Lexus ES articles say it, Wikipedia says it, Toyota says it!!

Only you don't!

Yep, the Lexus ES 350 should be added to the first pairing.

Why is the "Camry" and "Camry Hybrid" listed as a separate car? They share all the same body panels and interior

The list is titled North American car production, not sales. Perhaps those missing entries are due to vehicles mfrd outside N.A. That would make sense for the Highlander and ES are not on the list. But I thought the Oddysey was made here, guess not.

Just ignore him.
He's a 15 year old loser with nothing better to do.
He can't even get his facts straight.
