Where can I find a listing of what is new on the 2010 LS460?

Check out the Lexus website...

There are a number of improvements...

Like what?

I don't see any listing of improvements.

Specifically, does anyone know what has changed from the '07 460? (other then the availability of AWD, which I plan on getting).

The front end is new, as are the rear lights and bumper. New wheels and colors, several interior trim changes. The new LS460 Sport model...

I actually prefer the 07-09 LS460 personally.

I kind of like the 2010 improvements actually....it's too bad the sport model isn't offered in AWD.

I saw it at the car show today. They're growing on me...its a little angular and I wasn't totally thrilled about how the angular new bits meshed with the smooth basic shape.

The 2010 has a matte wood option which is very sharp...

The 2007 & newer LS 460's now have a timing chain as opposed to a timing belt correct?

[SW03ES]

I'm not certain, but I have heard that.

I was told at the dealership that ALL Lexus vehicles 2007 and newer have a timing chain and not a belt. This means no $1500 bill at 90k miles!!! The salesman explained that they switched to a belt in the first place because they were quieter than chains. This new chain is insulated somehow and is nearly as quiet as a belt. He also said it was in response to a lot of Lexus customers complaining about the expensive service to replace them.

I suppose with the direct injector noise they figured whats a little chain noise. The older engines are definitely quieter. By a long shot..
