p.s. What about new safety features? Nobody is mentioning that now... people used to complain... now PCS works at any speed, plus there is city emergency braking system that works for you regardless of PCS, and will brake if it detects danger.

I like the front of the F-Sport however overall I'm disappointed. For a flagship car I would except more features especially from an interior perspective. A friend of mine has a new Audi A8 and I love the interior and features of that car. At least for me there is no rush to go out and get one of these. I was looking for a whole new body style.
Looks like the good ol' 2007 will be kept around for a while. Maybe now I'll go ahead and splurge for that body kit I've been putting off in hopes for the 2013.

I swapped all of my interior bulbs for LED ones and yes they do fade but it just hair shorter than a standard bulb.

electronics adusted for leds will eliminate the difference, but in new LS, they have new background illumination, which should illuminate a lot more than before. They didnt explain it a lot but in new ES, it is optional, and they have it around the car, everywhere, supposedly for instance under the wooden pieces, so they subtly glow when you enter the car... stuff like that, that was missing from Lexus "experience".

Lexus shouldn't be making a big deal out of LED's that BMW has had in their turn signals for about 10 years. Audi & infintii still lead the way with lighting IMO.
I made every light in my 2002 ES a vLED's LED bulb. They fade perfectly normal, if not nicer than the others.
Will be interesting to see if the LED light output is as good as the bi xenon's too.

Here are the pics I posted live from the event on the CL Facebook Page:
The headlamps, foglamps and turnsignals are finally LED!!! The DRL is an LED tube from what I was told, it does not have the typical single diode array like the GS, IS, RX, LX and CT.
The rears feature LED tube taillamps. The turnsignals and even the back up lamps are finally LED!!!
My internet upload is slow at home...but will have a lot of pics to share later today.

Again: FYI for All...
The ONLY time you will see "LED Everthing" as a Standard Option, will be on the LS600 h L .
Also, pay attention to the Amber Turn Signals... Same QTY of LED Bulbs, but a slightly different lay out / pattern..
