I've seen one 2008 in person with NO wheel audio controls, and no electric A/C.
Have you actually seen a hybrid built after 12/03/07 ????

The "Job 2" Ordering Guide, which is not marketing material, pretty much confirms it. The Guide not only has it in the changes section (which is what I quoted), but also in the equipment tables. There is a check mark in the hybrid column (and only in the hybrid column because the hybrid is the only model where the audio buttons are now standard).

I also think it would be rather odd for it to say "... standard on hybrid models" and then have, as you suggest, a "not available on hybrid" disclaimer.

I had my doubts too. That is why I went looking. It wasn't easy finding the latest copy of the Ordering Guide. Most on the 'net date back to the original introduction of the 2008.
