Anyone know when the 2006 will debut and whether any substantial mods will take place - figured this would be the likely year for the mid-cycle refresh.

 

I was wondering the same thing. We usually start hearing rumors and seeing some list of changes popping up by now.

 

According to the salesperson I spoke to this week, expect satellite radio as standard.

 

Boy, I sure hope they do more than that. How about a standard iPod connection to catch up with BMW, Benz, and Volvo. Some of these things would be so easy and inexpensive for them to add, I'm not sure what takes them so long. Satellite radio should be integrated so you can use the steering controls and the same for an iPod connector.

 

usually when i see Lexus do a refresh, they clear out the signals on the tail lamps, make it look like that on the refreshed LS, refreshed 2000 ES, and 05 ES, the 2006 SC, and now sure but i think that the 03+ LX has a clearer look to the signals than the pre 2003 models, but thats what i think, but who knows
