Over the past few years Lexus has been referred to as a Japanese Buick, with the number one reason being the ES front-drive luxury sedan a car that drew direct comparisons with the not-quite-Cadillac GM premium brand. To erase those comparos the new 2013 ES gets a more stylish exterior with a GS-themed front nose and a profile more like the flagship LS.
Swapping its Camry underpinnings for an Avalon platform it has, however, grown even more in size a notable Buick trait. Plus, to challenge the eAssist mild-hybrid LaCrosse, there's finally now an ES300h hybrid system getting 39 mpg average.
It might not get the billing of the Detroit or LA shows, but the NY Auto Show is always host to numerous important world premieres.

I'm stuck in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The rest of the country might have had a reprieve from winter this year, but not here. The snow is coming down so thick the runway can't be cleared and I'm debating heading back to the hotel. Despite several inches of accumulation, getting there shouldn't be hard. After all, the reason I'm here in the first place is for a deep dive into the Mercedes 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.
Although we usually cover single vehicle reviews here at AutoGuide, this time out, we've taken a slightly different approach, instead focusing on a system, in this case Mercedes' fourth generation 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Mercedes is eager to get the word out about its all-wheel drive equipped models and raise awareness of the system's benefits.
Mercedes-Benz has been offering a system that powers all four wheels in passenger vehicles since 1987 in Europe and 1989 in the US. That first recipient was the W124 mid-size sedan, the forerunner of today's E-Class. Compared to modern AWD systems, that first 4MATIC was decidedly primitive, being a part-time setup that used electro-hydraulic locking differentials to transmit power to the front tires only when needed.
