new to 2008

2008 models are just around the corner and what do you guys think will be the "new" freatures added on to the 2008 models?

I feel the vanity mirror light will be added on to the 2008 model and was purposely left out of 2007 models just so it can be added next year...a very shady act by Honda due to the fact the vanity mirrors have a space that looks like its made for a light

I noticed that mine had a blank spot for a punch out as well. The European models have luxuries that are not offered on the US models, so the presense of the punchout is not necessarilly a sign of things to come. Some one told me, and I don't know if there is any truth to it, that European Hondas have a lot of luxury options because they don't sell Acuras in Europe.

My desire would be for heated mirrors and wiper heaters across all the trim lines. One of the advantages of being old and ugly is that you don't care about vanity mirrors--lighted or otherwise. Vanity went out the window 30 years ago when I finally realized I'm ugly and all the mirrors in the world was not going to improve that situation.

No extra features. It is selling too well and Honda is not prone to adding features until year 3 of a model year.

Sure seems like there is enough room in the engine to fit a V6. May not be next year but I could see it coming out eventually. That would be the best way to compete with the RAV4.

2008 CRVs will get power drivers seat with lumbar support AND (if memory serves) dual auto climate control.
Quite surprising, especially the AC unit. I hope their AC unit is improved since 07....
Still no V6 or hybrid (Honda's missing out there) but I have seen that Honda is moving towards diesels in the US by 2010, instead of following Toyota's Hybrids track.
Incidnetally, Toyota is developing a line of Prius vehicles, which should include a sportier coupe & CUV in addition to the actual Prius.

I don't really care for auto air, but the dual zone system is good news. I had it before buying my CR-V. Now I would not buy another vehicle without it.
