09 coupe is a 7AT at a minimum in the Sport model, most likely in the entire line. I'm sure we'll know for sure soon.

and the scratch shield paint. it depends on the area where you live but it will take some time for scratch shield protection to occur.

i don't understand people saying they are mad they didnt wait for these small differences.... someone said "i knew i should have waited for the second year"
usually the 3rd year is MORE changes than the second.
models change every year. you guys know that, right?

3rd year usually involves a nice face-lift (The perfected model), the 4th year is an identical copy of the 4th year with minor tweaks (ie. added wood trim or added color), 5th year is either same as 4th or absent, 6th year, new model. Most of us should just wait for the 6th year, as we will all be
the 9-speed G57 Hybrid Electric Convertible with Auto-Pilot.

Everyone here who thinks this is not such a big deal either leasing or delusional. Come resale time a 08sport package WILL go for substantially less than a used 09 in comparable condition above and beyond the cost difference for a new model year. THIS is what has me very peeved, it simply means that Infiniti has shafted me for no good reason. This 'simple' update could have waited another year or so the maintain a respectable sales level.
These types of updates are usually done when sales are slipping in the face of the competition, this isn't the case here. This car is selling well (lord only know how many I see on the street) and I was knifed in the back.

1) 7AT? Don't care. I have a 6MT and will sell to a person that wants a stick. If you have the 5AT, do you really think it's going to make that much of a difference? Hell, I bet most buyers wouldn't even know there were two extra gears on the 09 unless you told them. Forum fleas aren't the regular mass consumer crowd...
2) Self-healing paint turns into regular paint after three years. So, no matter there.
I don't see a knife....

Here's my analogy... If you wait to buy a new computer because you think something new is around the corner, you will never own a computer. The computer will become outdated pretty much right after you buy it. Same with cars. They change and improve over time. I'm not sure why so many are surprised by the fact that the G (and every other car made) will evolve.

Don't really care much about the revised upgrades for the 09 save for that "Self-Healing" paint.
I really wish I had that on my car.
I'm likely going to get that washi door trim for my 08 once a part number becomes available.

I say all this to say if you bought a condo in a gated community and the same builders put up the same condo across the street and included a pool and a tennis court/basketball court all for the same money you'd wouldn't be amused if you could have had 'more' for the same amount of cash.
All in all though I hope that you guys are correct.
