What I'm primarily looking for RDS to comment on is this - does Honda keep the same fun, zippy feel on the 5 speed 2009 as on the present model? If yes, then I've made my decision to wait for a 2009. If the report is that the transmission somehow feels different or the drive/shifting experience has been modified, then I will go with the present model. As RDS knows, since I have sent him some private messages, I have been holding out for a report on the 2009, hoping that he reports that the 2009 not only has as the same great feel to the drive, but that it is worth waiting for in terms of its other amenities, too... sky roof, arm rest, dead foot, seat comfort, door-mouldings, etc.
