10->11 brought the ugly LED strips on the headlights (along with dropping the AFS feature) and even uglier subtle front/rear changes... plus you can't even get the sport package anymore, just the much inferior "f-sport" package.


The only "good" changes since 08 IMHO were:

Making the aux plugs in the center console less poorly placed in 09

Making the nav/ipod setup less like something from 1998 in the 2010+ models (though still years behind other systems).

is there a good website to forecast depreciation for various cars?

I'm wondering: starting today...which would likely depreciate less over the next 2 years

- a $25000 2007 IS350
- a $40000 2008 IS-F
