yes cause theres a difference... if *.5 sounds funny to you then 04 or 05 should sound funny too... cause the differences are similar, very mild but there are differences...

03 - Type 1 Sedan (Doggie Door) - A Beta tester. Many stand alone components.
03.5 - Type 2 Sedan - Early cars (7/02-9/02) are Type 1 under the skin. Later 03.5s still have many stand alone components.
04 - LEV with "improved" ECM & TCM. Cars built to this point have four O2 sensors that feed info to the ECM.
04.5 - ULEV with two A/F sensors and two O2 sensors.

As far as why would someone care?... maybe some don't but others that read how a particular car is performing or how some mods or ECU changes helped, they may wonder why their 04 didn’t do what another 04 did (where in fact it might have been an 04.5).
BTW, how/why does a fraction of a number in a sig get so much notice that a thread is started?
