it took me 2 years to realize I had that secret storage back there...but thats because i rarely sit in the back of my own car.

 

Its the '10s that got the updated nav. I have a '10 and my brother has an '11 and the screens are identical.

 

Another feature the '09s had was scratch shield paint. The elastic clear coat that helped erase swirl marks using warmer temps to activate it. I believe the '10 Gs went back to a standard clear coat finish.

 

1. nav resolution much better
2. blue tooth streaming
3. usb port in favor of aux
4. back up standard
5. seperated fog lights
6. change to the rear facia
7. front bumper design change
8. different finishes with better quality materials for interior
9. updated transmission software
10. better voice commands
11. better resale value because of all above

just figured i would summarize for you

 

Thanks guys - it became a moot point today, since I headed into the dealer looking for a 2009/2010. They didn't have either in the colors that I wanted, but did have a beautful 2011, which they sold me for a ridiculous price, basically the same as I was expecting to pay for a pristine 2010. So I got my 2011 G with the great nav screen, updated front, and everything else - very happy with it!

 

Post some pictures!

 

Here it is on it's inaugural drive up Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO

If you don't mind me asking what you paid for a 2011 and how many miles?

 

Got out for $27.5 with 28k miles, and they threw in a new windshield (had a small pit), a new driver's door (small dent), and clear bra. I called around and dealer auction price seems to be low $26's, so I figure they made about $1,000 on me before repairs, etc.

 

That's a really solid deal. I'm seeing dealers trying to sell 2010's for that much.

 

Thanks, I'm really happy with it. That's actually exactly why I got the deal - went in looking for a 2010 and wanting to spend $26, but they only had the 2011. I walked off the lot twice saying "I'll just wait for a 2010", but I guess they really wanted to get this one off their lot - so they let it go basically at the 2010 price!

 

Was planning to change them out

 

You'll need a new bumper, grill, and a few other parts to use 2010 headlights on an 09.
