Does anyone know if USA MIN's will have the same changes as other countries starting Aug 7 ?

1) Auto Start/Stop Functionality
2) Regenerative Braking

As mataku said, no they won't, but they will have the USB connection to the stereo system. At least according to the reports on motoringfile.com (which I can't seem to pull up right now otherwise I'd post a link to the article indicating that the US is not getting the majority of the changes planned for the EU spec'd '08s)
