2009 FEH Photo
Check out this hi-res press photo of the 2009 FEH engine bay. I see there will be a new plastic cover to go with the new 2.5 ICE.
Notice anything about the grille?

No fake chrome grille ?
or is that another new "option"
When should I start feeling that my new 08 FEH is inferior to the new model year - this is getting to be like computers.

Re: 2009 FEH Photo
Can anyone look at their belt diagram and see if theirs is the same or different? (reference the air box in the 2009 picture)
I'd look myself but I don't have any under hood pictures and the wife has ours.

They dropped the Ford emblem from it... making it more generic for Mercury, I assume.

At least the 2009 FEH's are only slightly better. Imagine if there was a totally new platform, body design, or battery technology.
It will probably be another two or three years before the next quantum leap in FE occurs. By that time, we'll be ready to trade up without feeling "had".

I don't think the 2009 is a quantum leap, but Ford seems to have added some nice things to the hybrid, including an updated engine for the hybrid, the new navigation system and Sync (mentioned here before I think):
