sorry for my ignorance but how exactly are bi xenon projector headlights different from 05 headlights? They look the same to me in the pictures. Can you only tell the difference at night?

Not bad. Subtle changes in styling. Some added features that should've been in the car last year (available with the sedan).

The front bumper looks too thin now. It's minor but I can see the black plastic piece underneath a lot easier on the '06. Is this for people who can't keep their bumper out of the curb or is it aerodynamics or something? A step back in my opinion.

Molded side sills do look good. I like them.

The headlights, no clearance strip (now a reflector), and honestly, I can see great at night so I'm not sure what the hype is on the projectors. Plus my bluish lights match the color of my car which is p!mp.

The spoiler, nice. Better than the previous ones. I still would want to keep the 'clean' look though.

I like the memory seats and memory steering wheel.

I like the bluetooth. I'm still going to install a motorola one soon in my car. Would be nice to be from the factory.

I thought I had the speaker grill trim already? I should go check.

Tail lights look good. Can someone point out the change? It looks like there is a small button on the left tail light to open the trunk? Also square reverse lights vs. round. I think I like the square ones better. But the overall tailights look to be the same shape.

Nice, subtle additions. Should be about the same price as what the '05ers paid.

Two different housings. Look at the '06 and its a projector type output...and the pre 06 models uses a reflector housing. Its hard to explain in words but you could tell them apart if you were looking at them.

did anyone happen to catch that they've tried to fix the seatbelt finally? i wonder how well it will work... only pain will be when u got peeps getting in and out of the rear. too bad the same crappy bose is in there... but maybe now i can swap mine under warranty with one that actually works properly.

I like the headlights, sides, and the tailights... the new front bumper seems too "happy" and the rear spoiler still isnt as good as the G without one IMO. That is the only new front bumper right? That's the Sports-tuned-supsension package front right?

Looks pretty much the same to me. Only real difference I can see is the projector lights. Everything is else is so similar the only people that would notice is us.

Wow, I think that's a step back as well. You're right, people getting in and out of the back have an extra step. I, for one, have no complaints on my seatbelt. I like being able to ratchet it down so people can jump in and out and it doesn't ride my neck or anything. Maybe it was originally designed for 5'11" 200lb. men?

Anyone know what the price for the 2006s is going to be set at? I like the Intelligent key, I wonder if its going to be offered on the 6MT coupes?

Also, I assume The Intelligent key is push button, right? I'm actually waiting for my 2005 to get in, leasing it, wonder if its worth waiting and leasing a 2006? They said I wouldnt be able to get the money off that I'm getting on the 2005 but am not sure about that.
