Oh my gosh, it is so different than mine that I will have to swap out. I think that the mirrors will keep the transmission from flare-ing in 50% of the cases and I am sure that the accelerator pedal is 0.3 mm shorter to prevent unintended acceleration.

I need to trade because the wheels have 10 spokes, mine only have a paltry 9.

The UL wheels are the same as the '07......They both have 10 spokes.

If the new mirrors make for less wind noise does that mean that the cold engine clatter gets louder?

I would not doubt it that these pics are from an 07 model, being used for the 08. Seems to be the same car to me.

I noticed the passenger exterior door chrome has not changed for 08 it’s still looks the same as on my 07. What happen to the new grill for 08?

I have been looking at the pictures for 10 minutes. I can't see a single difference. Can't believe they haven't changed anything?

If those mirrors are redesigned, they must just be at a different angle or something. They look the same too.

The interior pictures don't show any more interior lights either.

I am beginning to think these are 07 pictures.

There are new interior lights for the rear passengers. It looks like Lexus replaced the coat hangers in the back with lights. Take a look at this... the "Interior LED lighting" section of the Interior category:

- Other than that, the advertised "sleeker mirrors" don't look any different from '07.
