Ordering ended in June. Manufacuring has already begun on 2009s so there's NO WAY they're going to change the line to remanufacture 2008s. It doesn't work that way. There's a reason they stop taking orders in June of 2008 for the 08s.

I ordered my car on July 3rd, and would not have waited until the '09 model year if my St. Louis dealer could have found me a 6MT in my specs. The ETA on the ordering system says 10/03/08, however the wholesale date is mid October, which means that I could be looking into a November arrival date. I really am pretty much bummed. The car was manufactured in August.

Man it's gotta hurt to be sitting on all that 2008 and 2009 inventory... (specifically delaying 2009's which they apparently intended on releasing within the next 2 weeks because there are more 2008's available than expected)
That's a fair amount of capital to be sitting on, collecting dust....
Infiniti is not going to get me to buy a 2008...
So I wait...

I'm calling big discounts on 2009 models by next September as well.

It's quite natural for big discounts to happen late in the model year.
I don't however know how natural it is for a car maker to stall distribution of cars from the point of import, to allow prevent the "previous year" models from plummeting even further in value.
