I keep hearing yes and no to this question: Will the 3.0si be changed to the 3.5si with the new N54 twin tubo 300 hp engine ??? Honestly, I think the answer is yes, but you will not hear anything until October or November to confirm this rumor.

The other changes I have heard is that the power tailgate option will now be available in 2008's, but it will part of the Comfort Access option. I am not sure if the price of the Comfort Access will stay at $1000 or it will go up due to this extra feature. I guess we will know when you are able to order the car in August or September. I am not really sure what other changes are in order, since the car is only 1 year old so far (not even that, it came out around Thanksgiving of last year).

If you want a 2008, you better be prepared to wait until November to get it. The production starts in September for the 2008's, and most likely the cars will hit the dealers by November. I am keeping my 2007 order unless I hear for sure that the 300 hp engine is going in the 2008's, and the price of the car is not going up by more than a 1000 bucks on the MSRP.
