What is the difference in the different black colors--besides the names?

One is probably more metallic/speckled and one is regular black.

What are the chances of Honda re designing the dash? I know that many of you like the current space ship design, but I don't. It's the only thing keeping me from buying the Civic.

It's really not that bad after one gets used to it, actually prefer it now to a regular looking speedo and the kids especially like it. Doubt they'd change the design mid cycle...too costly at this point. I'd look for a new dash layout with the 2011 model since the next generation is due then.

It's not a bad design...it could be much better. Hyundai did a great job on the re-design of the 09 Sonata dash...Honda can too!

Any idea of the cost difference between an 08 EX and an 09 EX? I am planning on waiting until August/September when the 09's are out but was curious on the increase.

They are not going to announce the price until a few weeks before the release.
No one can even guess since we don't know for sure that there will be any different standard equipment.
People are assuming that VSA is likely, but nothing is for sure.

No, nothing is for sure, but consider how nonsensical it would be for Honda to offer VSA as an option on the Fit and not offer it on the 2009 Civic (beyond the Si). Also consider the marketing advantage for Honda to be able to say that they are the only non-luxury marque to offer electronic stability control in every model they sell in the U.S. Plus the benefit of getting the 2009 Civic on the IIHS "Gold" list (or whatever they call it now).

I was just test driving the 2008 this past weekend and noticed the same issue with the parking brake. I'm 6'3" and the parking brake stabs me right in the side of my knee. I really like the car so I'm considering wrapping the parking brake with foam in order to reduce my discomfort. The dealer couldn't believe this was an issue for me, he says he's never had one complaint about this in the past. If I knew the '09 would fix this issue I would wait but since this is already the third year of this model (is that true?) I doubt they will make this change.

I have the same issue with the parking brake. I absolutely love the car except for that. The Accord does not have the parking brake issue. My dealer said it was a common complaint of taller men in the Civic-go figure. Maybe you could market a foam adapter
