You're welcome. I've picked up so much useful information in the last year from this site that I figured it was time to do some work that others could use. I know the guy who sold me my '05 personally, and I knew he'd be able to help me out. The brochures were hidden away in the general manager's office because they didn't want the info out!
I don't think it's the case, but wouldn't it be funny if HOnda asked for the brochures back because some of those changes were not realized? Message to General Manager: "Hey Mike, this is Sam, from Honda or North America, I was calling to let you know we're not handing out those brochures...JUST KEEP THEM HIDDEN IN YOUR OFFICE."

VSA is no problem because if somebody doesn't like it, it's easy to turn it off. What's the problem with that? If you dont like it, turn it off. The most important thing is that it saves lifes.

And thanks Harpoon for the info

Wow! I wish my '04 had come with VSA. Probably would have helped me out earlier this year. The new wheels look OK, but I don't really like the new head rests. I do like the new location of the defroster button. The old location was horrible. Does the new brochure mention anything about a defeatable passenger side airbag?

Also, I have to say I love all these guys who say "a true sports car should be . . . " those posts always make me laugh. All of these guys sound like they would be really happy if the car had one seat, no radio, no headlights, no windshield wipers, and no air conditioning. I think everyone who writes these posts would be happier if they went out and bought a kit car.

Still confused of how many speakers it has ..

I think overall it still has the same qualities that made the S2k a great car. Although I really don't like the wheels, steering wheel is ok, and the seats would be better in my accord. As for the vgna oops I mean vgs and defroster I could care less. I'll skip it and keep my 9k redline and carpet console. Raw sports cars all the way!
I am wih you on that afwfjustin

I like the new blue. I certainly hope Honda is better @ drive by wire than M-B (my W211 Benz throttle behavior was terrible and Audi - the DBW is my least favorite part of the driving experience)

New wheels - bleh. The best looking OEM wheels were the AP2 wheels.

I bet this info brought relief to alot of 05 owners out there.
only thing better about an 06 is the vsa (because you can actually turn it off). Seats, rims =

haha...just yesterday I was trying to take a nap in my S2K and I realized how uncomfortable the headrests were...

I'm being completely serious.

I got to my volleyball game a half hour early after work and ended up sticking a folded-up t-shirt on my headrest so I could actually rest my head on the seat.

what? so sue me.

04-05 wheels are MUCH better. Those look like they belong on an Accord.

Other than that, I like the interior. Looks sexay.
