Default 370Z 2009.5 Changes?

Forgive me if this has been covered in previous threads.

Does anyone think that Nissan will be able to incorporate some of the aesthetic changes people are asking for by the 2009.5 model year, such as the left-hand LED fuel gauge read-out into something more "traditional," or will we have to wait until the full manufacturing cycle goes by and look at the new 2010 model? I am planning on buying a touring model late summer, early fall but might wait to see if the 2010's have any changes.

I wouldn't expect any changes until at least the next model year.

Agreed. Maturity takes time. Like two or three years.

The 2009.5 will have a heel-toe drift ON-Off switch. That's what I heard.

Default aftermarket fuel/temp gauge

Was wondering specifically weather there is an aftermarket replacement for the LED temp/fuel gauge that so many people find distasteful, rather then waiting an entire production cycle or two.

Mid-year changes are generally unrelated to aesthetic preferences; even when a serious performance issue arises, it takes at least until the next year to make a mid-year change. Think of the revised suspension introduced in 2004.5. Aesthetic refresh had to wait until the '06 model year.
