Andy, I can tell you that the 2007 vRide has the fly-by-wire (electronic throttle/shifting) standard as well. The only difference that I am aware of between the 07 and 08 vRide is the stereo. 2007 : Has a Sony with 1 gig mp3 memory in faceplate. 2008: Has JBL, comes with 1 (or 2?) gig Malibu thumbdrive that is located in the glovebox. Neat b/c you can plug into the usb with the thumbdrive. I was debating between a 2007 & 2008 at the beginning of this year. I ended up getting a new 07 that was leftover instead of the 08. But I did spend some time in both, and I can tell you I truly believe that the stereo is the only difference. $47k is not out of line for a 08 vRide, if it has some of the good options like, stereo pack, ballast (rear and mid), boardracks, and CS cover. hope this helps...good luck!!!!
