New chimes for '08?

I suspect it's an '08 thing, but when we were out driving Clubbies, I noticed that the various chimes were different now. Lower pitched, they aren't particularly grating...I like it!!!

I think they changed the chime mid-way through '07.

Yea, it's actually called a 'gong' as of production week 31 or so... Not sure if it's changed yet again for the 08's and/or Clubman's though.

My 07 MCS has the gong. I got it about 5 weeks ago.
