What are the differences between the 2008 and 2009 IS 250? One better than the other?

Front grille and bumper fascia are ever so slightly tweaked. Interior switches/center console changed a bit. Mechanically the same though some improvement in suspension.

There is more changes than that. (ie. more advanced stability control system)

A full like list can be seen on Edmunds.

If you want find other years between another, you can manipulate the year part in the URL. ie. http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/is-250/2011/#fullreview

There's a thread with pics and circles of what changed (interior and exterior) somewhere but I can't find it.
