Anyone heard what is changing for 08 and when they will be available? I'm planning on getting a 07 but don't want to miss out on anything cool.

If this car is to get a following it must be quieter inside.

Our first long trip on Outlander. Love the Nav. It pack the 9 CD into the Music Server!!! (For our 4 years old). Everything is great. My biggest complain is still the gas tank. -- The cruising mile is 330 Miles. Just 30 miles more, We'd get from one Costco to the other for gas (Boise ID to Yakima,WA 367 Miles.) which would be 10 cent cheaper per Gal than any other gas station. With Kid on board, I got to stop and put 1G in just to make it since the "refuel" was screaming at me for 10 miles.  The minor annoyance is the The windshield spray is not good. It is no match for bugs dead bodies. (The water spray is too center compare to our 2003 Forester.) The wiper also make a noise when just simple spray of water. On the other had, the rear windshield water spray is like down pour and miss most of the rear window. Everything is good and convenient. I love the car. Rear shock absober seems to be too soft. With 7 days camping gear on the truck section, the rear sink in lower than I expected. Love the butterfly manual shifter. In "D" mode, I can shift to lower or higher gear as I wanted. Just watch out for don't mix manual shifting with Cruise. When in Manual mode, Cruise won't down shift. It seems to bail out when we hit a hill that in order to maintain the 75 mile, it need to down shift from Gear 6 to Gear 4. But since it is on the manual mode, instead of down shift when the speed drop to 60mph. It doesn't down shift, it just quit (Seriously, all the way drop from 60mph to 40mph.) Change to "D" then the cruise down shift as expected. Other things I found. On the high way, 65mph and up, actually is not most fuel efficient at all. I typically only get 22-23 mpg. On the other hand, cruise on 35-55mph with non-stop, I am surprise to get 24-26 mpg inside the yellowstone NP. (I guess, this is because the current setting is aiming best at government mpg ideal testing environment 30-40 mph with no stop measurement.) On the heavy traffic/signal city drive, it down to 18-19 mpg. Like other point out Map Data is kind of Old. It can't find the somewhat-new Costco address ( For gas and resting.) - I don't know how many of Costco are new in these three years. I also like the ability to switch from 2WD to 4WD. Go through Yellowstone NP & Grand Tenton on 2WD without problem. One tiny gravel road went by easily on 4WD-Auto. One final note, when I changed oil after the trip, I notice with V6 3.0 packed in the engine block, 2 pipes (I assume these are air condition pipes but I might be wrong) between the Cabin and engine without any cover to protect them. The only protection is the middle bin-bar. I am thinking about getting some rubber cover to protect the flying rocks from the ground. Without any protection, I'd not recommand anyone to go Off road with on the Outie unless you are willing to lost your AC in the middle of trip. (When we passed by south ID, the tempeture is 104-109F. I'd prefere to have AC  ) Not 100% perfect. But all these are really minor issues. All the right things together, I love my Outie.
