not really feeling it, i think they lost the edgy lines the previouse IS has, doens't look as aggressive but almost soft. the front lost its deffinition and almost looks like the aftermarket lip 5 axis made for the car.

the interior, i liked the dial alot more then the new switches. the rear tails lost their aggressive slant and look. i think they made this car softer. not feeling it.

now i'm glad i own my 07...just a few more things to get done to it.

 

whattt those seats are hottt... even if I can't see them while I'm driving, they look sickkk

 

Hmm, going with what I thought earlier, I think this interior picture is of an '06 or '07.

 

Yeah, for 08 they had almost like leg-cut-outs in the seat-backs to give more leg room

 

It's definitely not the interior of an '09. Note the open/close switch above the center console for the center a/c vents. In the '09, both switches are moved to the center between the two center vents. This one is clearly on the left edge. The buttons to the left of the nav have been photoshopped to look smooth. Half way modifed picture.

 

The photo was taken straight from Lexus.

I know the photo was taken from Lexus. I meant they did a bad job trying to make a non 09 look like an 09 by only photoshopping some of the changes.

Seat back color changed, Nav buttons changed, door materials color not changed, seatbacks not changed, center vents not changed.

 

Ah! My mistake, sorry.

 

No love for me... LoL....

Yes it's True!! Javy & I were privileged many, many months ago.. But we still can't say how or why....

Great pics as usual Javy... nice work...

Looks/sounds like the Joe Z Intake & PTS Exhaust will work just fine on the 2009 ISx50..

P.S. - I think this thread needs to be split from the point where Javy took those great pictures.. After all the offical 2009 pictures don't show up till page 20....

 

I am sure it was posted before, but the tails still need red-outs!!! What kind of crap is that?

 

I don't understand this....this has to be a major complaint from the IS community...and they still left in the amber patch?

 

Here I have attached an outline of the "new features" for the 09 IS350/250- I had another one but it was too large to attach

It lists the Outline of new features for the 09 model year for the following:

Exterior,Wheels, Interior, 4GR-FSE/2GR-FSE Engine, A760E/A760H/A960E Automatic Transmission, Differential, Suspension, Brake, Body, Lighting, Combination Meter Assembly, Power Window System, Smart Access System with Push button Start, Sliding roof system, Pre-Collision System and Cruise Control/Dynamic Radar type Cruise Control System

I find that a lot of time the names of the colors are wrong in this thing, so you might want to ignore that

This document contains drawings of the differences from the 08 to the 09 *Similar to the drawings you find in repair manuals*, Does not contain photos (sorry)

I have another PDF as well that was too large to attach, but if you'd like it, just PM me
Sorry if its been posted already! I didn't look through every post!

 

Can't you upload the other one to a file hosting service (rapidshape, mediafire, divshare, ect). There are literally dozens of free hosts. Thanks for the attached though, it was the most detailed look at the changes that I've seen.

 

Hmmm rapidshare, mediafire.... ok ok give me like 10 minutes and I'll try to upload the other one- I think the other one I have is more detailed with more drawings anyway. Hang on

 

Yup! I agree with both of you Javy and Mike. The chrome on the side mirrors makes it look tacky IMO. Since both of you guys did the JDM turn signal mirrors on your cars, you're more than welcome to install some for me.

I really love the gray wood for the interior.

haha calm down Brian. Well at least there is redout vinyl available for us that have the 06-08 model....too bad the 09ers will have to wait until Aerotect or Rvinyl comes up with a re-design.
