Differences between 07' & 08'?

Can anyone tell me what some of the differences are between the 07' TL-S and the 08'? I wanted an 08' but the dealer rep to me there was no difference other than price. Any info. will be appreciated!

There are no differences in terms of looks and styling. Only things that are changed so far to my knowledge is the glovebox, it has een changed to reduce rattling supposedly.

For once, the dealer was telling you the truth.

One or two new colors available in '08. Not sure if those colors are for the TL, the TL-S or both.

If you can find 07, go for it, I couldn't find it my area.

I believe they added a few colors with parchment interior and possibly updated the Navi, and some suggest they've fixed the rear suspension for rattle.

But, it's 99% same =]

one more difference: 08's are new.

manufacturers always update every single model every year, even though it is invisible to the naked eye. its thinks like a bigger oil pan, a faster moving power seat, maybe the optional stereo can go louder, stuff like that, that doesnt need to be posted every year

This is from Wikipedia

The 2008 TL features an improved new immobilizer system, a separate Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning lamp and two new body colours. The navigation system has been updated to work in Hawaii, and the AcuraLink has been expanded to incorporate 76 markets (up from 38 markets for the 2007 model).

More from http://www.hondanews.com/categories/735/releases/4216 :
TL features numerous refinements for the 2008 model year. Externally, the TL has two new paint color options: Polished Metal Metallic and Bold Beige Metallic. Inside, TL's with White Diamond Pearl or Carbon Bronze Pearl paint are now available with Parchment interior trim. The Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition has been upgraded to include Hawaii. The AcuraLink with satellite communication has an updated real-time traffic system that now includes 76 metropolitan markets-an increase of 32 markets for 2008. Vehicle security has been increased with an updated immobilizer system.
