New Car Features is out for the 2010. Some pretty interesting changes, especially with nav. The Skid Control ECU (responsible for VDIM) is completely changed as well which does not bode well for being able to seamlessly install the limited slip diff.

The wheels are something only a mother could love.

How did you come to this conclusion?
I love how you're a honest and real repository of information, I wish I could copy your brain contents to a memory stick or something

Here's a taste of what I'm seeing. There are LOTS more details especially for the nav since it's a major revision (Gen 6), but you get the idea from this doc what is coming. I'm still going to see about putting the LSD in my F if I can get one from Lexus.

I think with their proposed pricing, they think owners will pay someone to clean their wheels
