Maybe the sheetmetal, engine, and suspension guys were on strike during the grand redesign...

That's a pretty complete list! But I meant just "surface appearance"; I'll look at my pics ('09 and '08) and see if I can pick out that body restyling (???)...

At any rate, although I can't identify exactly why, the '08 just looks cuter and maybe more "cartoonish"; the '09 is maybe a little "sportier" looking???

I know what you mean. I am really toying with the idea of putting an 08 nose on my 09. The differences are small, but there is just something that I like better about the 08...
