They will replace yellow with ralley red, a bright red instead of the orangy metalic red which will be replaced with metalic gray but you can still buy the yellow and metalic red panels. It won't have a glove box door, just a net and they will have a no cost option of having the Pure roof on the Passion for those that don't want to drive a plastic bubble in hotter climates. The first ones will come out soon but the complete cutover to 2009 won't happen until 2009.

Personally, we avoided the coupe because of the clear plastic roof and got the Cabrio instead and we are glad we did, works really well as both a sunroof and a convertible top. We like red but avoided the metalic red because it's looks orange in bright outdoor light.

Be glad you won't get the micro-hybrd drive, it's being recalled.
