2 plastic "fins" like things under the car, for the purpose of aerodynamic i am sure.

 

Those are for aerodynamics.

 

lol, ok, so now i can claim 08 to be either faster or quieter j/k

 

Haha. How about uglier and faster? lol jk

 

Ryan, when are you trading in your 07 for a 08 white/black? I saw a few of them at Longo

 

Haha no thanks.

 

another thing i noticed was that the "fans" blades directions are different passenger vs driver sides

 

woah...

this looks like the navigation control! maybe lexus was experimenting with the iDrive-like control right behind the shifter??? It looks like a zoom in and an Enter button. Can't tell the third one.

 

Maybe someone could create a list of the detailed differences between the '07 and '08 -- the stuff that isn't in the specs. I care because it makes me appeciate my car more. Since I have never had an '07, I can't make the comparison but have picked up a few items, such as:

- Caution screen when starting the nav system. No more "agree" screen.
- Turn signals on outside mirrors
- Brushed aluminum shifter surround
- Slot for owners manual in glove box

I don't know but are the following things new?

- LED lights - interior and tail lights
- 8-speed transmission in GS460
- AUX input for MP3 player
- Super-soft leather seat material
- Ventilated seats
- "Intelligent" interior lighting that moves with entering driver
- Parking assist system (GREAT feature, use it parking in my small garage)
- Driver AND passenger memory seats
- Power rear sun screen
- "Rolling" headlights
- Active suspension system (Sport/Normal)
- Rain-detecting wipers
- Water-repellant front door glass

• Revised instrument panel font and appearance, combination meter and revised shift-plate surround with brushed-aluminum trim

What's with the cassette player (can't believe it's still a feature!) labled "Logic Control Deck" on the new models and "Theft Deterrent Design" on older models????

 

Actually that one that says "Theft Deterrent Design" is a pre-production concept model. As you can see, the dash looks similar but alot different than the actual production model.

Here's what the production models have:

Mark Levinson Head Unit - Notice the revised DTS Digital Surround Icon and the removal of "MP3" & "WMA" on the 08 version. Font style difference is pretty obvious in these pics.

 

hey i noticed that the 08 GS350 is 91 pounds heavier then 07 GS350. do anyone know the reason why. so the 07 should be faster

 

In deed!

j/k the weight difference isn't so much. its like a fat guy racing a skinny guy. fat guy in the 07 and skinny guy in the 08.
