all of the list items are improvements/changes relative to the 07/08 model to be found on the 10/11 models.

As mooty points out there are also cosmetic exterior and interior changes as well, the ones I listed are the "major"

although I forgot to mention the availability of the sports buckets seats in the 10/11s
