The MSRPs do not include a delivery, processing and handling fee of $875. The GS and LS sedans will arrive at dealerships later this month.

In addition, new side mirrors feature integrated turn signals while the standard 18-inch wheels have a new 10-spoke design. The LS 460 and LS 460 L freshen their exterior color palette for 2010 with new shades: Peridot Mica, Satin Cashmere Metallic, Matador Red Mica and Deep Sea Mica. Inside the LS adds an Eco Drive indicator that can encourage economical driving. LS 460 L models also receive standard Intuitive Park Assist and Intelligent High-Beam.
The LS 460 rear-wheel drive (RWD) model offers a new Sport Package for 2010. The Sport Package enhances the overall driving experience with an exclusive perforated Black/Saddle leather interior with sport front seats, a unique leather-trimmed steering wheel and paddle shifters for the eight-speed automatic transmission. It also offers tighter handling with its sport-tuned air suspension, stabilizer bars and shock absorbers. A unique front grille, distinctive Aero kit, which features a front lower spoiler, side rocker panels, and rear lower spoiler, 19-inch 10-split spoke forged wheels, and Brembo brakes are also included in the package.
The Appearance Package, a stand-alone option for all LS 460 and LS 460 L models, is also new for 2010 and offers the unique front grille and Aero kit found in the Sport Package. For RWD models the package also includes 19-inch five-spoke wheels. The new Cold Weather Package featuring a deicer, more effective heater and heavy-duty battery is available for all LS 460 and LS 460 L models. Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS) is now available for the LS 460 L models.

I remember reading somewhere that the Sport Package featured different engine mapping and transmission response from the 8-speed compared to the regular LS? I heard that it would hold gears similar to an IS-F? I don't see any mention of it in the official PR, so is this not the case then?

I believe they separated certain options that used to be standard, and made them stand-alone or part of different packages to give people more choice. I know for sure they did that for the 2010 LS600hL.

very interesting, good info. i want to see how the brembo brakes are like and what are the spec difference compared to the old touring brakes
i have also read that the new usb / ipod connection doesn't get as much information from the ipod as some people want, is that true?

I like Black Sapphire Pearl, but won't say the replacement(Deep Sea Mica) is not as good, until I see the new paint in person.
I also think Matador Red is a poor replacement for the Noble Spinel Mica, even though I think Matador red is just as gorgeous a paint as Noble Spinel.
But the Matador red is too orange and not dark enough for a big elegant sedan like the LS, it's good for the IS250/350/F, but not as suitable for the ES/GS/LS, particularly the LS.
I happened to have seen a newer ES350 in Matador Red in close proximity to a Ruby Red ES350, & the Ruby Red (which is darker) looks a lot better on the car.
It's good for me they are not making more Noble Spinel LS though
