Default Differences between 2007 and 2008?

Hi All,
Are there any differences between the 2007 and 2008 build years?

Thanks,
Per

For the most part, no.

Some markets, like Australia, saw the introduction of Ibis White (new colour) for the MY08 car however.

I'm no expert but I know a few changes. Cabs and titanium pkg options appeared, that's about it. Most of the changes occurred mid-2007, the so-called "2007-b" version. Chrome thingy's on the dash buttons, smaller shark fin on the roof appeared in 2007, deletion of the "Vijay port" (a vacuum port on the backside of the intake manifold that is very handy for aspirating your favorite carbon-fighting elixir). Some RS4s have slightly different temperature and gas gauges (different "1/2" and "130" markings at the halfway point). The coilpack recall doesn't include the late 08s.

So not much at all!

I think the iPod dock was standard in the glove box on the '08. But you can add it to the 2007 as an accessory.

Default The iPod dock was an option

I just think most 08 owners chose to have that versus the 6 disc changer.

Oh well the 2008 I saw at a dealership had both the iPod dock and the CD changer in the Dash.

According to that, there would be no Sat. radio or Bluetooth in 2008. Or did those options become standard equipment in 2008?
