To be fair, you wouldn't expect a dealership to know about an independant importer's offer, would you?

My dealer has been as frustrated as me about the lack of info coming through on the MY '06 - the particular salesman's general knowledge on the S is pretty good anyway. They have been good at telling me how they are getting on in finding things out and I think that that (communication) forms a good part of customer service.

Having said that I'm having second thoughts about where to put my cash in light of some of the posts on siezed bushes and the like - I intend to keep the next car for a long while.
