Should just be a refined version of the current one. The only real major interior change could be bluetooth. Maybe a USB port on the EX/EX-L model. The fit Navi unit is capable of it so a simple software update is possible. I would like to see the EX/EX-L sedan get the Si sedan stereo with subwoofer.

HI guys, I just signed up here and thought I'd make a quick reply. First off, i just bought a Civic Si Coupe last week, and LOVE that car. Anyways .. to the point: The parking brake is in a strange position indeed. However, look in your backseat. Do you see how the middle part of the floor has a FLAT bottom, instead of that HUMP found in almost every other car in the world? That is achieved by putting the parking break in an "odd" position. So, it is a nice little trade-off, imho.

so far it looks like no USB port (since we already have the AUX in). An upgraded Nav unit and an EX stereo upgrade however seems possible...

Infact they would just have to upgrade the headunit to support it. The USB unit will be in addition to the Aux input. Honda says expect this usb device to be on all models. The EX stereo will probably happen. The USB/iPod port only works with 5th generation and up iPod's. As for usb devices a certain amount will work. Nav won't likely get upgraded. Maybe bluetooth is the upgrade.

Maybe the software and some minor components. Maybe all models very quickly.

Should see some modest changes exterior wise. Nothing too major. No diesel though.

Hi Shipo,
On the 2008 EX coupe, what is the effect of exchanging the 16" tires for 17" tires? Will it affect ride comfort/noise and/or fuel economy?

Stability control is mandated by the Feds I believe in the model year 2010, so Honda is just jumping the gun a little to get all the bases covered.

Will it affect the ride? Yes, a little, the ride will be a tad bumpier.
Will it affect the noise? That should depend more on the tires and the tread pattern than the wheel diameter.
Will it affect the comfort? That depends on whether you call a smooth ride comfortable or a ride where you can feel more of the road comfortable.
Will it affect the fuel economy? Ummm, probably not, errr, unless you move to a much wider tire.
Best Regards,
Shipo
