Anyone considering a new '06?
Well - we had been, mainly because of a couple of the new safety features.
Saturday we went to take a look at them at our local stealer. Much to our surprise, the one they had was the new Laguna Blue Pearl. After a fair amount of "should we" and "can we" - we DID!!! We drove it home late that afternoon.
I must say I was quite surprised how "different" the '06 feels from my '05. The '04 and '05 are identical and I really didn't expect to feel any difference - but the DBW really does make a difference. Here's a list of the differecnes I have thus far learned of for the '06 models:
- Drive By Wire (DBW)
- Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)
- Traction Control
- Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
- New design seats and a few other items like the steering wheel and some of the trim (all for the

Having lived in Boulder for 16 years, I can say that this is an interesting time of year to buy an S in Loveland. Are you planning on swapping off the RE050s for snows? HPH
I bought a set of '03 rims and mounted dedicated snow tires (Dunlop WinterSport).
My main concern is the side streets and the frozen ruts with the limited ground clearance.

.....I know I was initially disappointed going from the '01 to the '05. I still think the '01 is more fun for play time.
It's not the MY.....it's the COLOR! Going from the fastest color [silverstone] to the coolest color [suzuka]....you should have known
Of course, it's easy for me to say.....with the most rare color [GPW]









The Color, Very Nice
