Information on the 2010 Lexus LS 460/460L was also released today, here’s a breakdown of the flagship design, which received a minor mid-cycle refresh this year:
* The headlamps, grille & bumper were all revised, as were the taillamps, license plate surround and exhaust diffusers.
* The side mirrors now have integrated turn signals.
* The standard 18-inch wheels have a new 10-spoke design.
* Safety Connect/Lexus Enform is now available.
* The Advanced Pre-Collision System is now an option on the LS 460L, as is the Driver Monitor System and Lane Keep Assist.
* iPod/USB connectivity is standard.
* The navigation system has been upgraded to the sixth generation software, which includes updated voice recognition. The navigation screen has also received a size-boost.
* The driver seat is equipped with a slide-away feature that aids entering and leaving the vehicle.

Styling aside, I really like the overall changes made! This is a BIG mid-cycle update for the LS.
Also I LOVE that interior with the two-tone leather, and the sport seats. I hope ALL North American Lexus models in the future get more interior and exterior color combinations.
Only thing I don't like that much is how the body kit looks on the LS Sports version. I wish they could have integrated the kit better. Makes it look a bit like a Camry SE
.
Note to Lexus; instead of tacky-looking body kits, for sports versions PLEASE integrate the kits better with the body, or make different bumpers for the sports versions. The tacky looking body kits really bring down the overall look of the car.
The IS-F has custom, different bumpers compared to the regular IS, so why not on this LS Sports version?
In fact, they could have kept the regular bumpers on the Sports model, to go with a more subtle look. If we complain enough, maybe Lexus will change it
