More differences - the '06 has wording about a "Maintenance Minder" system that alerts the driver to when service is required. That section of the '05 brochure just mentions no-scheduled tune ups until 105k miles. The '06 brochure omits the 105k mile language.
'06 omits verbage about zero to 60 in under 6 seconds (lawsuits?).
'06 has the exterior temp gauge.
'06 omits language about leather door panels - it's in the section about the seats in the '05 brochure - maybe they just ran out of room.
Seatback pocket is no longer an accessory - weird.
Headrest speaker system is no longer an accessory.
Sebring only comes with a black interior option, not red and black anymore. White is only with black.
She's 20 lbs heavier. CARB emmissions rating is now LEV-2. Has daytime running lights, VSA and Brake Assist. Warranty is 3 year/36,000 mile limited warranty, 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Not a fan of the new wheels, and won't be a fan of any idiot light that tells me the passenger airbag is on. Like the new steering wheel though, and it the armrest more padded now?

The only "drive-by-wire" system that I experienced was in the TSX that I test drove. It would take some getting used to. I like the fact that I can grab a couple of wrenches and adjust the cable on my '03. I hate when they take the tinkerability out of a car. I'm sure the '06 is a great car, but I'm glad I got my car when I did!

VSA is a great idea - long overdue. Hopefully, it's completely defeatable.
Fewer S2000s in ditches means less insurance claims.
Laguna Blue looks great. I also like the new seats. Honda's widening the appeal of this car.
Hardcore drivers may not like it, but these changes make good business sense.
