The Lexus badge is the radar cruiser controls, it's available on previous models.

I guess the only differences is to have the Japanese 2010 "F version".

My guess is that Lexus is trying to sell more ISC'. By 2011 we should see a body change to compete well with Audi, Bimmer, and Mercedes sports-compact luxury market.

I think the main difference is the NAV. It has the same updated NAV as the 2010 RX, but without the mouse. It is touch screen like the previous IS NAV, but the Maps, POI, icons and everything are new generation.........

After reading this thread I checked out the Lexus.ca site and noticed they also have the 2010 IS now. They now have a F Sport Package compared to just the regular sport package on the '09 It now includes rear lip spoiler, unique grille, IS-F steering wheel and black IS-F seats!

Who cares for the 6100 when you see the final price tag 51K for a IS350.


But i wish they made the IS-F seats with ventilated cooling option..... Just think about how comfty it would be

Acura has always been #1 in the tech. And Lexus.... Well not so much...


HIDS for the most part were standard in 08, but in 09 they had to cut the msrp price which they did with the premium package. They took the HID option out of the premium package(which is like the standard package).
