Wow, nice job Tee! Thanks!

BTW, I'm glad I don't have a 2010-2012 model .................... I can't read Japanese.

Great thread

The only thing that I really care for in the new update is the new navigation unit that streams your music and does lots of things better than the previous generation... Other than that styling wise I personally like the older model but then again as mentioned above i'm biased myself

im really thinking of getting a used 09 or newer LS460 Starfire Pearl, when exactly did the LS get the LED parking lights in the headlights like the newer IS,as well as the blinkers on the mirrors. was that in 09 or started in '10"?

sorry to bump an old thread, but felt my question was relevant to this post.. Are the mid life refresh of the LS headlights and tailights swap able to the 07-09 models?

The LS maybe be my favorite car but the refreshed bumper screams Corolla to me. The spindle treatment better fix this or im going to start losing faith in the LS designs.

amen, I am not a big fan of the 2010 refreshed bumper either, but all the changes, especially with the NAV and personalized settings options now, along with led mirrors and other things will push me over the edge and pull the trigger on one..just waiting for the new design to come out and allow the 2010s to come off lease and snag a deal on a pearl white L with air susp

Did Lexus fix the control arm problems that they were having with the 2007-2009 LS 460's in the revised 2010-12 LS 460?

I agree with the gest of your thread!
Lexus seems to have gone to sleep.
The style is old and the colors are bland-
Not enough of anything for me to trade my 2007 LS460 Noble Spinel Mica for anything I've seen from Toyota for several years.
