If you don't like the dash, change it like I (and some others) did on this forum! Looks superb, scratch and dust free! A dream!

How much does it cost? Did you do the change by yourself?

What do you mean with 2008MY ???

MY is short for Model Year as in the year of manufacture or model change e.g 2008 model.

Mine has been ordered on Jan 08. Deal signed on December 12th. Am I getting a 08 or not?

Most probably, unless they have an old ´07 in stock.
When is it being delivered?

Best to check with your dealer.

Delivery date is week 8 (last week of Feb. or first week of March). I've asked my dealer and they said they have no way of knowing. Perhaps I could call Honda Belgium and just ask

My dealer has one '07 in stock, the showroom model.

If you are waiting for it to be built then it should be an 08.
Really, your dealer should be able to find this out.

I called Honda Belgium. Got a bloke on the phone who actually couldn't care less. He cleary was unsure about the whole thing, saying what I wanted to hear.

So I called and faxed Honda Europe

. The guy on the phone there said, in total honesty, they couldn't possibly know with only the MOTCE code. However, he is dertermined to find out. Let's wait and see what turns up...

And really, customer care in Belgium is way inferior to customer care in the UK.

I couldn't agree more. It shouldn't be this hard to find out. I'll raise hell if the don't tell me this week!

I fully agree. In Spain the dealer always tells you what year model are you buying. In fact they say the cost of both versions.

I didn't know that. As far back as I can remember dealers here never mention this without someone asking. Humano, are you implying that if I were to get a 07 model I should have gotten a discount?

I haven't received any answer from Honda yet (called and faxed on monday). But I guess I would have to give them at least a week or so to reply.

Yes.

Older car - more discount.
