But any changing technology will continue to get better. You have to pull the trigger at some point.I noticed automatic EX-L's are cheaper than manuals, even though Edmunds' prices would indicate otherwise. That stinks! I suppose it is scarcity driving up the price.I'd like to ask again if anyone can confirm the '06 is quieter than earlier models, or is it in my head. If it ISN'T in my head, I can save a lot of money getting an '05. I may post this question elsewhere, even though I know it is bad etiquette.
