Interesting.......are those brake lights just above the exhaust?

I'm guessing they are just reflectors.

Me too, but the larger vents on the base model actually look pretty cool IMO.

Only a matter of time until "Clear Rears" or "Clear Exhaust Reflectors" for 2009's becomes the new "Clear Corners"

Is it my imagination or do the 2009's no longer have the rear and front rotary accents?

Just checked it out at my dealer. It looks MUCH better in person. Especially the tail lights which I found quite odd and ugly from the pictures. They actually aren't too bad in person.

I think spoiler on R3 is not the OEM spoiler from the first gens, although it looks VERY similar. Also the exhaust tips are actually bigger, but it appears to be the same exhaust. Finally, the interior is AMAZING, especially the seats.
