Question Choices 2010/2011

I have 2007 ES350 purchased May 06. Has 67000 miles. Only problem has been Cold Start tapping which I have gotten used to. I also just bought 100,00 mile extended warranty. Got this at 50,000 miles for $1200.
Would like to trade up but not sure what to get. New 2010 or new 2011. Seems like not much difference other than cost.
Any suggestions, advice, etc.

2011 burns regular gas. 2010 burns premium. The engine lost 4 horsepower in the process. That is the only difference. Dealers are negotiating.

If you keep a vehicle a long time, buy the 2010...resale dollars not as important to you.....if you sell or trade often go for the 2011 as the resale value will be more.

There's been much discussion on this. Many people who have 07-10 models use regular gas with no ill effects. Unless you're pushing your car to the limit you won't notice a difference. I'm not afraid to mash the pedal on a regular basis and I can't tell at all.

Oh yeah - the 2011 loses the "Lexus" badge on the trunk lid - that means it's lighter right??? Sounds like a performance advantage to me.

Any new colors for 2011?
