Thumbs up Changes for 2010 IS350

Hey if anyone knows of any changes that are happening for the 2010 IS350 please post them here... I ordered a 2010 IS350 about a month ago and the dealer has comfirmed that it will be arriving 2nd-3rd week of september. Also he told my that there's no major changes for the in general, but one new plus point will be that the Navigation will be hard drive based. Do you guys know of any other changes ?

Thanks in advance

USB port. The new nav has a few more neat things. One nice thing, and maybe it happened after 06. When my bluetooth kicks in it automatically accepts the warning message, I dont have to hit the accept button anymore. It also responds and disconnects much faster than on my 06. I believe there are some new colors out too. I think that might be about it, unless you want to count the two-door/hardtop convertible as any option.

The 2010 IS350 will produce 20 more HP and 12 more torque, as well as stiffer suspension due to new springs(same as F-Sport springs). The available sports package will include retuned shocks/springs and feature real brushed aluminum trim.

The 2010 IS250 will produce 35 more HP and 20 more torque thanks to redesigned intake and exhaust manifold.

not really, but one can wish right?

Maybe I'll try to get my hands on the 2010 head unit...

If you install map disc 7.1 or later in an '06 or '07, they will automatically accept the warning message too.
