Wow the customization is much needed, I hope we get it. Love the SV changes. Prefer the old lower bumper.

The hybrid grill simply is not my cup of tea

Overall, the refresh seems subtle but nice to me. The 460, 460L have modest updates that keep a classy design looking good, the turn signals and added tailamp cues are nice. There is now a 5-seat Exec Class package option, which is welcome, and the Night Vision now levels the 'LS automatic parking vs. S night vision' comparos...the LS adds its advanced pedestrian detection to that.

The 'SZ' version is interesting, I wonder if they will sell it as the LS F-Sport or something here. And the L-Select program with 2-tone...didn't I predict that earlier this April? The glaring difficulty for me is the LSh grille, which I think is not as nice as the LF-Sh grille (although to be fair, this one has more airflow).

The 460 grill is much classier/refined than the hybrid grill but that's about my only complaint.

Man I don't even know anymore, the more I look at the hybrid grill the more it is starting to grow on me a little.

I really don't like the instrument cluster. It's a bite off of Mercedes. I'm sure it's done much better and more technologically, but it's still a bite off of MB.

I have been waiting this, and unfortunately, I can't really say I am thrilled with this. On the other hand, 2010 S550 looks really nice.

I love that Lexus is starting to design different levels for each model. I like the regular model, love the SZ model, and think the hybrid version is alright. I would come up with better wheel designs, with the exception of the SZ. The wheels look a but Infiniti FX-ish and the gauge cluster is def. has a resemblance to the Mercedes S. Contrary to other members, I actually like the 600hL's grille. I think Lexus will start using this grill exclusively for the brand's Hybrid vehicles as an effort to set them apart.

That new 600hL grill is a nightmare

None of the other cosmetic changes impress me so far ...

Wonder if it REALLY has weather - not the little smiley-sun-and-clouds kind, but live doppler radar overlays like Acura has.
