I see four gauges on the two sides of the speedometer. On the left are the tach and engine temp. On the right I can identify the fuel gauge but what is the fourth one?
Overall I think that the regular LS460 looks classy. But I am sure the others will gradually grow on us - including the 600h.
Is there any change to the HP of the vehicles? Anyone good at translating the Japanese text?

I found out the following information from my dealer. I have seen written documentation of all of this so I am sure all dealers have it as well.
There was no info re the design tweaks.
Production will start in September. Usually LS production starts in July and it may have been held back because of excessive 2009 inventory due to the economy. The late production date may explain the lack of photos.
Colors: Starfire Pearl, Mercury Metallic, Smoky Granite Mica, Truffle Mica and Obsidian stay. Satin Cashmere Metallic (4U7), Matador Red Mica (3R1), Peridot Mica (6V6) (Green) and Deep Sea Mica (8V3) (Blue) are new.
Interior Colors: Parchment replaces Cashmere. Alabaster, Light Grey and Black stay. No mention of wood pairings. They also have information re which interior color is available with the various exterior colors. Looks similar to previous models.

2010 LS Versions/Data Web Posts
There have been several new threads confirming the new flow of data on the 2010 LS versions, but just in case some of you missed this one, here ya go!
Another link trails below the first. Personally do not like the new grill version at all. Most have documented the same perspective. Kind of a mix of the Ford Fusion and Acura constructs. The SZ (Sport) is as we expected, but the question still remains on whether they are going to tweak the engine for a few more ponies. Jim

Analog Clock
It is quite surprising that even the dealers do not have more info on the 2010 LS other than what we know from this site.
High on my wish list for the next model change in three years would be a real analog clock. It will certainly make the dash classier!
