i much prefer the 07, its simpler and looks better without the extra chrome on the grill and the creases on the bumpers and door handles.

Can someone help me out with exact dimensions (widthxdepthxheight) of the '08 model 450h? I would really appreciate it as I'm planning totrade in my 300 to a '08 450h but need to be certain that the baby stroller fits. Thanks.

Why don't you just take your stroller to the lot and test fit it?

Because the car is app. three hours drive from me, which would make six hours driving back and forth. I would be quite embarrassed if it would not fit in the end...

Wait the 07 doesn't have aux input? I know my 06 doesn't have aux input but I thought the 07 has it

not weird, a lot of wheels like that on different cars are done similarly. otherwise it's another cost increase (2 molds, can't rotate wheels, etc...)

fwiw, isf wheels are directional

Also I'm pretty sure the 06 and 07's both taillights lit+ up when you pressed the brake but on the 08+ only the outer taillamps light up when you break. I liked the 06 and 07's!
