Seems to me like some of the components on a few different '09 Treks have seen slight downgrades from their '07/'08 equivalents. Maybe execs at Trek were looking to stealthily widen margins slightly in anticipation of a down year and depressed sales numbers? Price points seems to have dropped ever so slightly, too. So maybe it's an attempt to keep sales up rather than make more per unit.
