I don't know if that's news or not? Apparently the production line goes down in the next few weeks as they retool for the 2009 model. But since I'm ordering from the factory instead of ordering one of the last 2008s, I may just be patient for an additional 6 weeks and get the 2009. Why am I so patient? I'm out of USA til mid summer. From what I can tell it doesn't seem like there'll be any real changes to the Mz5...it'll just be a "newer" model year. I'm told from build to dealer that delivery is typically 15 to 20 weeks. Anybody else have related info?
