Default 2010 gs

Just thought I would let everyone know....the 2010 GS is up on Lexus of Japan's website. I see revised taillights with chrome rings, new wheels on the hybrid, new hybrid grille, Lexus Link, no cassette player, and a bunch of new colors (although they may not be for the US market).

I think I prefer the old wheels on the 450h but I like the new grille.

Not only that, if you look at their interior choices... They have grey with black wood like we have, plus a grey/black two-tone, and black on black!!!

Not sure about the conversion but the 460 is showing 347 and the 350 is showing 315 as far as performance goes.

As for the cassette player being gone, it has been replaced with a 40GB hard drive that can display pictures and music, USB port, and I believe traffic update.

Lastly, GIANT "HYBRID" emblems on the side and the rear windshield if you want to

Japanese GS models never had a cassette player, they have an MD player (MiniDisc) instead.

too bad they don't offer the black seats with white stiching.
that looks so awesome.
i saw it in the showroom on an LS. the dash had white stitching also, it looked really nice and contemporary.

Yeah and obviously what we're saying is the MD player is gone and replaced with a hard drive.

This is the console with a hard drive.


This is the hybrid lettering on the side and rear.


Also, did anyone notice that the parchment, grey one-tone, and black all come in a durable cloth as well? It's shown in the black interior picture.

This is a good shot of the new taillight.


Also, this is the exclusive grill and color for the hybrid.


This is interesting... Seems to be a lane departure warning system?! Not only warning but it almost seems like it could keep itself in the center!


This is also very interesting. Seems to be a face recognition warning thing...


I don't think we have this one... Separate A/C and heater on the SAME SIDE?!


Last thing to add, the hard drive also RECORDS conversations if you need to at 128Kbps!
