Correct me if I am wrong, but there have not been any changes to the suspension between 2008 and 2009...

Any difference in how the car handles bumps is either your imagination or due to different tire pressures between the two cars. There have not been any changes to the suspension of the 2009's.

I asked my dealer and she said there had been some improvements. There is (as you probably know) a difference in the transmission (smoother) too.

Grey seems so dull. How about Orange?

With all due respect - many times, we (the collective forum) know more than the people selling the cars... there's no proof that anything was done differently with the '09s.
