The next piece of scoop is regarding the 2010 Lexus Minor Change, a last trim and tuck effort to refresh the model before it retires by 2012.
Night Vision is available though it is unclear if this is standard across the LS range.
Updates for the LS hybrid includes a new grille, wing mirror integrated turn signals, front bumper, fog lights, tail lamp cluster, rear bumper and diffuser. But from the pics, it seems to be missing the supposedly Toyota-Lexus hybrid models only blue tinted taillamp / headlamp lenses.
Lastly is a "sports" version of the LS460L. Can't help but think this will appeal to the Yakuza gang bosses, who are usually said to love old school Mercedes S-classes especially the W140 generation model, Maseratti Quattroporte, Toyota Crown. The more powerful and older dudes travel around in a more discreet looking Toyota Century.
5-seater and 4-seater option
L-selection customization package. Only in Japan.
