...if it looked like a Model S? Same interior, engine, specs, weight, etc., but it just happened to look like a Tesla Model S.
In other words, does the Model S's styling work regardless of it's drivetrain, and does it scale up to a car as large-selling as the Avalon? Does putting that unique styling on a non-electric car that is going to be seen everywhere (making it less "special") and be cheaper make the otherwise boring car more desirable or less?

Too bad there's no 4-cylinder ES available over here. In China, you can get the Camry's 2.5L I4 with an ES250.

im not sure the Model S is smaller than an Avalon, these things are quite large. or did you mean sales volume and not size?

Maybe for a year or two when it was the hot new styling...after that it'd just blend in and go back to the same ol' sales numbers.

I would actually loose interest in the Toyota Avalon.

That's not the question though, it's would the ES sell better (in a very competitive sphere) if it looked closer to how the Tesla is designed?

Down in price, but I meant up in terms of market share. I think a big reason the Model S looks good is because it's still a small-scale production car and isn't very ubiquitous.

Take the Model S's body and put it on the ES/Avalon, assuming everything else is kept hte same (ignore the size difference for now). Would the ES/Avalon sell more models than it does with its current/most recent gen styling? Or does the Model S have styling that only works on a smaller-scale electric production car, instead of a large-scale generalized people hauler?

It wouldn't surprise me if they start offering it, especially since 4-cylinder luxury cars are actually catching on in the US with the CLA 45 AMG and most of Cadillac's models.

Oh ok, it is just that this theory can be applied to most cars really.

Yeah, I just picked the car that still somewhat competed with the Tesla, but was least like it in every way.
