This hardly makes our cars obsolete. 1 mpg and 22hp won't make one bit of a difference to most buyers.
IMO, the difference between an 05 and an 04 G35 was much bigger, and there isn't much difference in price between those two.
These are just mid model upgrades. Ones that most of us probably would like to have, but not a dealbreaker for our cars.
Nothing like how the 2006 BMW 330i guys feel. Ouch.

You forgot VVEL with direct injection, 4 piston caliper brakes, 14" rotors, scratch shield paint, oh and the fuel economy hasn't been stated yet. So stop lying to yourself, it is a significant difference..

Yea, if the interior and exterior don't change, most people won't care.
A few may want the 7AT vs. the 5AT.... but my 6spd is the same between both models.
22hp and a brake upgrade that most won't feel is needed isn't really a big change.
The biggest news is the G37 convertible and AWD coupe.

08 WRX owners have something to complain about with the 09's coming out...we don't.

As for the resale value impacts, expect them to be minimal. The only difference the non-gearheads that drive market values will even notice between an 08 & 09 is the bigger engine and badge change. The market doesn't care about bigger brakes, number of gears in an AT, or fancy clearcoat.
