I just posted a thread in the V forum excerpting the essential bits from an Automotive News article on the 2009 V, which will be shown in Detroit. The article includes pics. That thread here:

Key bits:
Mesh grilles, more aggressive fascia (which I personally like much less)
550HP/550TQ (leaked earlier)
Manual or Auto; latter with paddles
Magnetic Ride Control
Recaro seats with faux suede
Piano black replaces silver on center stack.
$62,000
Auto reliability research
