Congrats on your 2010! We're all jealous that you have Gen 6 Nav and the Torsen LSD.

Congrats!

The wheels look okay to me. Although if Lexus made the rear wheels a little wider and deeper that would have set it off nicely.

I thought they were going to change the tailpipes to a more angular design?

As far as I know you only get live traffic, which probably doesn't work half the time.

The gen 6 nav. includes Safety Connect, a variation of on-star for emergency, flat tires, out of gas, ect. Also included is Enform Destination Assist. That enables you to push a button, connect with a real person and have a destination downloaded directly into your nav. system within seconds. All you need to know is the name of the place you want to go, or the address. Give them the name of a restaurant, the city and the street if you know it. If there are multiple locations, they will give you all the options and even the phone number if you want it. Also you can create up to 200 destinations on the Lexus website and have them sent to your nav. system and it stores them in folders. All this is free for the first 12 months, then the combination of both features is around 250.00 per year. We used it several times last weekend and it was right on every time.

Already warned the other half, notice close to 7" clearance to the bottom of the front bumper. Most parking lots have 5 to 6" curbs, but will still need to watch it. Only plans for now are possibly the BC coilovers. Not sure if I will lower any or not. Thanks for the FYI

Gorgeous car. Is the nav's graphics package more clear than previous generations?

If you don't mind telling us, how'd they do on price? I'm finding some dealers offering 1500 over dealer invoice on the 10s.
