Civic MMC is every 3 years. The generation change is every 5 years. At most, it'll be bumper, headlight, tailight tweaks, some minor interior changes, and various little fixes.
The little side caption on the Edmunds website, which I quoted, suggests that the 2009 model will be a new model. It says "the ninth for Honda in the U.S." As I recall, Civics are currently in the 8th generation. You could take it to mean the ninth plant in the U.S., but that would mean that Honda has a bunch of secret plants they're not telling us about.

Yeah, that Autospy article seems to be way off, but we can always hope they do a switch-a-roo and use the JDM Accord Concept as the new Civic concept.
