i like the 2010 model and it has an updated audio system along with puddle lights in the mirrors.
are you referring to the 2010 on Car Gurus?
there are two 2010s listed and several 2009s. Go to the stickies in our section to locate the list of differences for each model year.

OUCH squared
OUCH and OUCH again My insurance has sent me a very fair check to cover the "total Loss" 2006 SC430 that was rear ended.I have learned a couple of lessons:
1. Don't get attached to material objects. I enjoyed the style, the look, the performance, the comforts, the additional little surprises, and just the "feel" of"my" car that i was emotionally affected by its loss. I immediately scoured the nation for a replacement SC..but better..lower milage newer year, known history, with clear maintenance records.....and actually found one in another State. but it was sold. another loss
The point I took away is that don't expect a car to make you feel better
2. if you are distracted due to texting and hit the car in front of you, the cover story seems to have the distracted driver claim that "his water bottle fell down" to avoid additional penalties
.
3. when you come to a stop, we have all learned to look in the rear-view mirror to ascertain whats in back of you. While I did, I did not realize that even if the guy in back of you was stopped, you are still way vulnerable
Im 68 y/o now, retired, and am now thinking about giving my other car, an RX-350 to my son, and just taking LYFT as opposed to outlaying cash for a car that, in reality can be totaled even through no fault of your own and you pay maintenance, gas, insurance etc.. in other words, screw it
