Been asking this question alot myself. No known changes in options yet. People are ordering 06 cars with 05 order guides. The "consensus" is, there won't be a big number of new options colorwise, etc. Hoping for TPM, (tire pressure monitoring) is about the most realistic hope at this point. If you get an August of Sept build, you should keep in touch with your dealer and might have just enough time to select from new options at last minute.

My dealer told me today that the 05 is identical to the 06, however 5k more??? Must be the devaluation of the US dollar? Seems like BS to me???!!! And no SAT radio!!!

there probbaly won't be any changes.

if there were recalls to the 05, they will have already been fixed on the 06, some minor tweaks as with any new model year, nothing notable.

also there are probably new options on the order book

PSE will likely by avaiible by the time the 06s roll out.
there is supposed to be an update to PCM
also the aerokit is availible
TPM tire pressure monitoring will also be availible.

What do you think Moogle, a cosmetic change, or a software change? Just curious.
