This is speculation without foundation, but as long as we are guessing; I'd say that a refresh of the model will come in the new model year (2010) as a mid life LCI. There has to be some significant improvement to qualify as an LCI model and for consumers to show renewed interest. I'd say the CIC does that in part. Of course, as I have posted elsewhere, even if we think we'l have to wait for a MY2010, we still don't know when the 2010MY will be introduced. It's fun to talk about it though.
