Default Lesser-known differences for MY2006.

Friday, while at the dealership for some new softtop latches, I sat in a 2006 S2000. While attempting to adjust the driver's seat, I noticed that the lever wasn't in its "usual" spot. Sure enough, it's been moved to the left-hand side of the seat. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I the only one who cares?

Also, while at a local autocross, I noticed that the female clips for the seatbelts are different. Not by much, but surely not the same.

Does anyone else have some differences that haven't been publicized yet?
Let's hear 'em!

The plates that surround the radio buttons and HVAC controls are black instead of silver.

Haha yes! I sat in the 2006 again last week and I was confused for a second that I couldn't adjust my seat forward. I thought it was just the fact that I don't really adjust my own seats much.

the 06's cost more on the sticker and when financed carry a higher APR. You should bought one 5 years ago buddy!
