Default 09 GS now available

Just checked the lexus.com website, and they are showing the details on the 2009 GS now.


Nothing major looks different.

No need Kev.. No '09s yet at the dealership
Besides you'll be too busy drooling over the new LS460L

I dont think lexus will make any more changes. The current model will be replaced in 2 years or so, there is no reason to make any significant changes now.

I think in Lexus's press releases about 09 models, GS is a carry over.

The only change in the GS is the base MSRP and the 450h gets more trunk room.

We are still getting 2008's though, so they won't be on lots until mid-November I bet.
