mid oct is more like it

all other lexus models will be updated to 09 before the GS, that seems to be the trend

Any differences in the '09 other than the 8.1 NAV disc?

I am gonna guess new colors, new rims, minor instrument cluster redesign, couple more lighted up items, different stitching colors and perhaps different wood choices

taken from the updated IS list, just a thought

I read in auto mags that the '09 has no changes but just thought I'd ask in case someone knew of some minor detail..
It seems the IS got almost the same '08 GS refresh.
BTW,I like the new gray/black wood in the IS with black interior.

whlkev

ha, if people with insider info like Ryan or Henry don't know.. I doubt the public is going to know any more

we'll see soon i hope not many changes, we did just get our cars

lol, there are a lot of stuff i do NOT know

my guess is no change from 08 coz' 08 was facelift already. lol i don't think they will take out the cassette deck

It should be a crime for Lexus' supplier to be selling Lexus cassette decks. There's gotta be something illegal about selling unmarketable merchandise!

Before that...I got mine in April.
'09 were early because the '10 will be a new design model to be released spring of '09.

I thought Lexus's press release already indicated that there won't be any change to 09 GS, besides the 450h getting a bigger trunk space?

flipside909

Heh, I will only tell about it if I get the okay from my contacts or if it's on an official press release.

And to tom2517, yes that is correct.
