When do 2009 Mazda3s arrive?

My dealer can't find the specific Mazda3 I'm looking for, even throughout the state since it's nearing the end of the 2008 model year. I'm going back to the dealer tomorrow to review the options that are currently available, but I'm thinking about ordering the specific model I want from the factory. If I order now, would I receive a 2009 model? I know it typically takes a few months to receive the car, and I'd heard new Mazda3s hit the dealer in late August or early September, typically. Thanks! That's really not what I was asking. I didn't mean the redesigned Mazda3 for 2010 - I'm well aware when that should arrive. I mean, if I placed an order yesterday (like I did!), will I receive a 2008 or 2009? The dealer wasn't sure when I asked him. He said it would depend on when the factory actually built the car, but he didn't know when the cutoff was.

1. Most new cars come out in Fall. But if it is a newly designed car, then it will come out in the beginning of 2009. For example, the 09 Honda Civic is the same as the 08, and it will probably come out in Fall. But if they redesign the Civic, it would come out at a later date. I heard rumors that the 2009 Mazda 3 will be a new design and I also heard that it will be the 2010 Mazda 3 that will have the new design. So expect it from Fall to Winter.
2. not very sure.
