What is a 2008.5 and how do I know if I have one?

[Beltonius]

Newb question, I know.

I assume it's referring to some level of mid-year update to the car, but I wonder what kind(s) of change(s) were made and how do I know if I have one?

I bought mine in late May from a dealship in the Boston, MA area. Cosmic Blue GT.

Cosmic Blue GT.

You don't. Cosmic Blue was dropped for '08.5

one of the changes is an mp3cd player. i don't know if that's in both models or just the gt. also metro grey and white replaced cosmic blue and silver.

what are the other changes?

The seat colors were changed from black and grey to all black. And they changed the dash and door accents from silver to piano black.

I never thought I'd be "that guy" but use the search button next time...it's been covered.

Besides what's been covered already in this thread, the gauge dials are white and the middle inserts on GT models are alcantara.
