chrisgo17, you need to post a lot more pics, particularly of all the changes for 2009. You're our only source so far.

I notice that you have the tan interior. Could you post some detailed interior shots? BTW, beautiful car!

IMO the wheels look sweet. They look much better in person than some of the pictures posted.

Did you manually fold those mirrors or is there a switch now?

I folded them manually. I believe automatic is an option.

Thanks for posting, I think the new tan looks much better and less yellow. Do the black seat backs look good to you? I haven't seen a good shot of them. I hope to go to the dealership next weekend and see them in person.

BTW did you happen to look at one with the gray interior while you were shopping, if so what did you think?

The back seat does look very good and are comfortable. Sorry I don't have a picture, wife took off again. We did not see one with gray interior. The dealer specifically got this car from the Port because this car had the options my wife wanted. They told us that it was the first sold in Jacksonville, Fl.
Sorry Papaalex, I am not trying to take over the thread, just trying to fill the request for more pictures.

Thank you for posting the photos requested. My car was hit by a careless driver when it was 4 months old and had to have the entire passenger side replaced/repaired. I have been waiting (for a year)on some design changes to happen before I trade so that I am not getting the exact car I had. I can't go look at them for another week so seeing photos helps qwell the anticipation a bit.

Thank you Wednesday. I hope you find the 09 changes to your liking. IMO the visual changes are subtle, the suspension changes and other changes Lexus have made that we don't know about to improve the product should be worth the wait. My wife and I only decided about 2 weeks ago to purchase this car over the others in the class. This forum has been very informative and fun to watch leading up our purchase. It is great to see the passion for this car, similar to what we have experienced with the Porsche Club.
