welcome to CL

no one has the firm release date yet, lexus is usually very tight lip about these stuff. but for the record, the 08 ls460 came out in oct of 07 IIRC. personally i say that's about the time frame this yr for 09 as well. but that's my "guess"

I thought some U.S. dealers started getting 08 LS460's by late August last year ?
I think it was October for Canadian Lexus dealers though ...

That is exactly correct. I drove the 2008 model the in August 30, 2007 at a local Lexus dealer (but only a few cars had arrived). The fact is, Lexus often does not follow exact release dates year after year; Lexus can vary the release date to suit their needs (last minute design changes, which can happen for various reasons, etc.). The complete redesign of 2007 did not appear in the USA until October. Most dealers this year think the 2009 LS models will start arriving first of September, but even they do not know for certain!
