i like the GS grille the best out of the hybrid grilles.
the slats are angled progressively.
the LS grille is disgusting, and gives the whole car a cheap toyota camry XL look.

the IS above is the regular IS with the F sport package which is why it has the mesh grill. It will not be standard

Ouch bumper facelift was not the best idea. Not good at all. As far as the grill goes I can live with it, for sure original is better like hundred times.

Not a fan either, will have to wait to see in person. Since GSh in 07 was pretty much like a GS expect rims, hybrid badges and the blue 450h. 08/09 added the blue emblems. 2010 adds this grill.

Seriously those look like toyota's. What is up with Lexus and Acura and these ugly grill trends? Only the IS looks good.

LS facelift = fail. The original one at least looked upmarket.

They're getting milder...
I still think think 08' is the best year for the 2IS.

Good to hear confirmation of the LSD for the IS-F.

I wonder if you can change the 460 grill for the 600. That is disgusting. IMO, I prefer the GS grill. I like how the horizontal bars progressively get thinner towards the bottom. IMO whats messing up the GS grill for some may be the ugly GIGANTIC chrome bezel surrounding the chrome horizontal bars. Its just to much chrome now.
I am also assuming that since the GS is getting minor refreshes (the rear lights changed a little bit too adding chrome rings), I'm guessing it may be around till 2011, with the 4GS debuting for the 2012 year.

Cool to see the IS getting some more F treatment. Sort of like the BMW M-sport or whatever its called or 330i ZHP?

Yeah, sort of except ZHP had wasn't just aesthetics. It had different suspension, software programming, etc., so it depends on what the F Sport Package will actually offer; I'm thinking it might be more along the lines of what Mercedes does with the non-AMG cars offering AMG packages. Hopefully it'll be more along the lines of the E46s w/ZHP.
