HankJ Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi, Does anyone have any insight as to the changes that the 09s will have? Will they have the LED headlights like the 600hl? I'm thinking about moving up from my LS430 (145000 miles) and am wondering if I should look at the 08s or wait for the 09. Also, I think I want the "rear seat package" which means that I have to look beyond my district. Anyone have any comment about that option? Thanks, Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texagun Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I would wait a couple of months for the '09 models. Hopefully they will have the wind noise problems fixed in the new models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Naa, I wouldn't expect any changes for '09. You'll see the first refresh in '10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitSTer Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I heard some talk that an AWD version is coming in '09. Whit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankJ Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 So would you wait for 10?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS_Lover Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 A lexus sales man told me that the LS460 will recieve a facelift in 2010. I guess waiting for the 2010 model would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 That makes sense on the 3 year design cycle. it'll be a minor facelife a'la 98 LS vs 95 LS, 04 LS vs 03 LS. I wouldn't wait for the 2010, if you buy in 2010 and you're following the design cycle, the LS should be all new in 2013, why not wait until 2013 at that point? They're always going to be improving the car, the LS is a great vehicle and even the older ones still look fresh and modern. Jump in and buy one when the timing is right for you.

AmexBlackG5 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I highly doubt if you would see any big changes on the 09 model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
