2010 Lexus 460 to Receive Sport Package

New for 2010, Lexus widens the opening in the lower front bumper to assist in cooling. An LED turn indicator has been integrated into the rear view mirrors and head and tail lights have been reworked to keep the LS styling fresh.

The all-new sport package allows the owner of a rear-wheel drive LS 460 to get more of a driver's car. The option adds a full four piece areo kit, tuned air suspension, and a plus one bump to 19-inch wheels with a 10-spoke split design. Beefed up stabilizer bars and shocks help keep the car planted in turns, and Brembo brakes bring all the action to a halt. Sportier front seats are complimented by exclusive Black/saddle leather.

Safety Connect and Enform, Lexus' new concierge systems are offered with a free one year subscription.

Safety is always high on the list for Lexus and the 2010 LS is no exception. Active headrests and a new driver alert system are now standard for the LS.

Pricing and delivery dates have not been announced yet

Profile :Lexus Company

Toyota launched its luxury brand Lexus in 1989 in the North American market shortly after rival Honda launched its Acura luxury brand in 1986. Two vehicles, the flagship LS and the (now entry level) ES composed the brand. Though panned by many critics for their styling (or lack of) and less-than-sporty feel when compared to German rivals, those same critics also praised the ES and LS' quality and engine power.

The public agreed with the latter assessment and the new marque, in 1991, became the top selling import luxury brand in the U.S. where it continues to dominate. Currently, Lexus consists of the IS sports sedan; the mid-sized ES; the higher-end GS; the LS flagship; and SC sports car. In 1997, Lexus debuts the RX SUV/crossover, considered one of the first—if not the first—luxury crossover. Later, it would release the mid-sized GX and full-sized LX crossovers.



All-new versions of the IS, ES, GS, and LS have gone on sale with the LS winning the 2007 World Car of the Year. A refreshed version of the LX recently debuted at the 2007 New York Auto Show. Besides the U.S., Lexus is also sold in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. In 2005, Toyota launched the Lexus brand at home in Japan for the first time to compete against "foreigners" as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Lexus has announced that, as part of its expansion plans, it is looking into as yet unnamed seven-passenger crossover, a smaller SUV, and a hybrid-only vehicle.
