KvnChu Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I was just looking at the specs for the 08 and they look exactly the same as that of the 07. Is there any difference at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightshade Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You left out a couple of things- Coinholder added to left of steering wheel Some minor price changes (you can look these up pretty easily, mostly $200 more for most cars, $200 less for AWD 250s, and a couple minor changes to optioning pkging on the AWD 250) The wheel color change specifically is to what they're calling liquid graphite, and most people consider it a significant improvement The seat-back pockets are also different in addition to the leg-room cutouts you mentioned Some folks have reported (Edmunds among them) that the steering feel/feedback has been improved, but no official statement on that one The I Agree screen is gone on Nav systems (this might be addable to older models with an updated Nav disc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
