Notes: Having redesigned the ES 300 in 2002, Lexus made but one change
in '03: the addition of optional power-adjustable pedals. The Camry also
received this new feature. This was the last year for the ES 300 name:
for 2004, the ES sedan adopted the new 3.3L used in the RX 330 crossover,
and thus became the ES 330.
