Is there any word on what the 09 changes will be?

The higher horsepower from the G37 is offset by its heavier weight. If a G37 Sedan is infact on schedule for 2009, I am almost positive the big brakes and 19s will transfer over from the G37 Coupe. If this happens, Im willing to bet both the sedan and the coupe will be virtually identical in performance due to the increase of weight in the 2009 Sedan from the cast 19's and the big brakes.

6AT or 7AT to keep those Automatic boys happy
A/C Seats ( Doubtful, since its an M feature)
LED Signals (Doubtful)
New style Forged 19's for the 6MT and Sport Package
Akebono BBK for the 6MT and Sport Package (Found on the G37 Coupe)
Keep the weight the same ( Highly doubtful, especially if above features are added)

I'll take one of those! Nissan will do something to try to torpedo the new TL that will be coming out fall of '08 with more power, SH-AWD, and who knows what else. And we can't forget Audi will have their new A4 out then as well...
I am really hoping for more (and more refined) power, better tranny for improved hwy mpg (get that rpm down around 2K at 75mph) and some other nice tweaks...the ventilated seats would be very nice. Who knows...heck, maybe keep a base model and then go with a hi-po version a la tl-S. Guess time will tell.

Didn't this car come out in 03? Then for the 05 model they did some changes that I considered significant enough to finally purchase the car. Then for the 07 they did a complete redesign? Doesn't that kind of indicate that we are due for some slight changes like in the 05 model with another redesign coming for the 2011 model?
