Default Any Predictions for 2009?

I got my 2007 LS460 on November 1, 2006, and love it. My plan is to custom order a 2009 model as soon as I can with my dealer. Any predictions as to what might be different on that model (what might be fixed, what might be added)?

lol your looking at another year of waiting.

im guessing by then, if they havent already, they will have fixed the wind noise, and add any tsbs to the car. Also, i expect to see the new generation nav, that doesnt have the "i agree" screen, like in the 2008 IS

I think they should offer it, although I personally don't want that version.

Any Predictions for 2009?

The deteriorating dollar will cause a $2000 base price increase over 2008 models.

The front passenger seat will have 3 memory sets.

AWD will be an option.

HD radio will be offered as standard (the XM $77 special will still be available to members of this Club).

The Advanced Pre-Collision System will be offered as an option (a very expensive option).

Mallory will sell his Caddy and come back to the fold!

When Lexus releases the update for the nav, I'm going to have it loaded on my 07. The I agree is really getting old... The update should be out before the end of this month...

You know, I was supposed to have gotten the update for the Nav when I purchased the car. They brought it in to the service department and updated it. But I'm still getting the "I agree" screen.

Which is the most up-to-date version of the Nav software??

From what the dealer told me, It hasn't been released. Lexus has some bugs to work out before it's released. That's what the tech told me...
