Hi everyone,

My wife and I are planning to buy a new car likely in Jan 2008, and the NAH is top of our list now. I had a few questions for those that have experience with the car:

Several reviews have expressed displeasure at the "shudder" that happens when the ICE starts. How noticable is this? Bad enough to be felt when driving highway speeds, or just when you pull from a stop?

The 2008s have just been stocked at SoCal dealerships (we haven't test-driven one yet). Does anyone know of any significant changes to the 2008 model?

This is largely an "I love this car" forum, but what complaints (other than MPG) do people have with the car? I have read much of this forum already, but would like to know if anything else comes to mind. GripperDon seems to have the most critical view but still likes the car, any comments?

Thanks for everyone's time!
