Look closely again (the post above ^^), the grille now has much more chrome than the '06-'08.
Personally I hate chrome...

it's not about "more chrome", it has a new sharp shape similar to the IS-F.

How much smaller are the mirrors? I can't seem to see a big difference other then the turn signal obviously. Hmmm...will have to see it in person...
