But there was a button to turn it off, if you were in a pinch and spinning the tires was helpful, like the steep driveway.

My hunch is ( and Bryan's test points that way ) no TC in the 2008's.
Updat to my "test". So I finally had a reason to drive more than 10'

After we got out 6-12" of snow that actually tuned out to be a 1/2" at best. My driveway was all slushy. So I punched it for the duration of the driveway, about 300', and it just spun and spun. It tracked straight, no pulling to either side, so still unsure how many wheels were spinning, but guarntee there was no TC kicking in! So us 08's are no different than the rest!
