Sorry guys but I don't even feel the projector lights-- I've gotten a lot of comps on how the headlights look now esp. on the black-- They're kind of smoked and dark- IMHO that's tight. Not feelin '06 at all-- much less aggressive-- Looks like that '07 redisgn needs to look more like an xB

He said "on the outside of of the driver's SEAT", not driver's door. The buttons on the seat itself are more then likely for the memory seat system.

Anyone else notice that the lumbar support lever is now on the outside of the seat as well, not on the inside?? Not sure if this is a change for 06 (were the 05's like this too??), but on my 03, the lever is on the inside by the center console. Kind of curious what brought this change.

first off, i love the clearence strip, and the projectors focus light only on a small area not the hole are, im guessing, but i like my headlights just fine, spoiler is gross, new front bumber is gross, but in person it might be ok, but the 05 is the way to go, because you have all the good features, sory 03 04 guys, but honestyl that new spoiler ruins t he car, and to be honest, the only thing kool is the new key,

but FOR US 6MT GUYS IT MIGHT NOT BE A OPTION, SO BASSICALLY O5 THE WAY TO GO.

Well I agree with most everyone, there are things I like and things I don't like on the '06. I am happy to see them finally offer the Intelligent Key as it is a great feature, but still don't understand why they don't offer it for the 6MT. I had a Nissan Cube for a few months and it had the IntelliKey, and I was very disappointed to find out that my new Skyline that cost 3xs as much wasn't offered with that option in '05.

Also, not to rub it in, but my '05 Skyline has the belt extensions. I don't know if the other years for JDM cars also had it, but it is possible as smaller people with shorter arms have a tougher time grasping the belt, i.e. most of the Japanese population. But then I guess I don't have any room to brag, because my '05 only has the 280hp motor.

Overall I think the '06 is a nice package, but I am very happy with my '05 and look forward to saving my 10yen coins so I can purchase a GT-R when they go on sale.

I like the changes, nothing major as far as the exterior is concerned, great additional features

The spoiler is nasty looking... could care less about the lights ... The front is ugly... how many people need memory seats in a luxury sport coupe? Don't own a cell phone & never will..... Glad I bought in 05 for sure

yes... an 05 for me! Glad the 06 looks all funky

The only thing I like is the projectors... every other change looks awkward to me.

Alright thats good, hopefulyl thats how the 06's are going to look like, im glad i bought the 05 cause the 06 doesn't look too great.

The projectors are a big plus, the new seatbelt is going to help from the scraping from the older models, the intel key, memory seats, and the new reverse light.

The front fasica looks akward, rear spoiler reminds me of the data system with LEDs ,

Overall its not that bad, might look better in person?
