The 2008 will most likely hit dealerships in October. We order on the 15th for September and it is still 07 MY.The EX doesn't have a better engine as stated in a previous answer. You need to move to a Si to get a better engine but the con is it takes premium gas!The EX adds alloy wheels, moonroof, steering wheel mounted audio controls, ungraded radio: 350 watt/7 speaker with subwoofer, trunk release on the remote, chrome exhaust finisher, ambient lighting, an additional power outlet, 60/40 flip down rear seat and exterior temp gauge.As far as anything changing for the MY08- nothing has been mentioned yet....
