F stands for the 1st turn at the Fuji speedway in Japan?  Didn't know that -- but I'm half-wit and don't write (much) about cars also --, seems like they didn't know that either, the way they talked so much about it since the beginning.  FIrst thing I wanted to know about, changes for 2009, if any.

 I wonder if they know what AMG means?  Expect next a feature on that.

"Velvet Hammer?"  LOL  WTF?

Haven't gone through this whole video or not, so i'm not sure if the video addresses your "09 changes" question or not.. but in short:

08 -> 09

Different window motor calibration (it's lexus, they're crazy)
New center console/stack color and buttons

[end]

09->10

New mesh wheels, previous wheels are optional
Completely updated nav system to match the LS, HDD based, weather, etc. Also lexus concierge service.
New torsen mechanical LSD to replace 08/09 electronic LSD.
Extra "strengthening" behind the center console.


** Watched the video - these people didn't even do their homework. The front seats are NOT cooled.

I'm glad they went with torsen diff, biiiiiiiiiiig update on my list
My car trasformed into completely different car once i installed Quaife LSD, electronic one is a joke, though it worked well for what it was

Yeah, i'm considering doing a retrofit. $$$ though. There are also other clutch based LSD's out there for less, so i'm still not sure which route to go...
