The September issue of Car and Driver says no changes for 2009 for:

ES350
GS350/GS450h/GS460
GX470
LS460/LS460L/LS600hL
LX570
RX350/RX400h

The IS F/IS250/IS350 will undergo minor restyling and interior/instrument panel...

SC430 - Only 300 to be made, minor changes on Pebble Beach Special Edition, spoiler, interior trim and 'unique' 18-inch wheels.

The latest issue of Motor Trend (September) states the only change coming to the 09 LS series will be the addition of standard memory function for the front passenger seat.

This makes sense as how its the only seat in my car without memory and would get more use than the ones in the back seats.

There will be all wheel drive for 2009 on the LS 460...

Ah! A recurring topic on here, somewhat puzzling since other Lexus models get the front memory seats, but no LS ever has (and yet the rear seats do)...

Theyve just got it wrong for 09 the RX gets a few new colors and a pebble beach edition. They also dont mention the other changes the SC gets or the LX and we havent heard about the LS and the ES changes.

WhitBaby

I've heard that before, probably on here. But, if true, that would certainly seem significant enough to warrant mention in the piece.

lol the 2009 RX has already been out for a few months

So the new 2009 LS460 will still have the wind-noise problems many are plagued with? It is amazing that they can't work out a fix to improve the complaints current owners are having.

Patric

I'm thinking if Lexus were soon to have a permanent fix for the wind noise issues they most likely would not publicize it as a change to the 09 models.

Better P.R. to just notify current owners of another TSIB and leave it at that.
