Here's a nit question, do you suppose that the '06 allows remote *UP* and down of the windows? (I use this a lot, and it would be neat if it would roll the windows up with the key fob).....

It's amazing how critical people get when they are insecure.

The totality of the 06 changes are very much positive. More HP, Bluetooth, better Navi, mem seats, improved drivetrain warrenty, etc.. and I suspect the price difference will not be that great. The 06 will definately be a better seller than the 04/05 and I'm glad I waited.

Do you guys think the hood is any different (other than lack of chrome)? In other words, you we use the 06 hood on our 04-05 cars w/ the Mugen grill and/or bumper and have a clean seamless look? I know it will be more expensive than the JDM hood strip, but it's cleaner.

Other than those you have already mentioned another JDM Accord exclusive I wanted the most is the keyless entry system.

You can see the difference better in this pic:

As someone else mentioned, the reverse lights are tinted on the 06s.
Still, I agree, no LED's = disappointing. I was hoping for a swap.

Hmm... they also added a powertrain warranty for 6 years 70,000 miles.

Even the '02-'03 TL has that feature, it works with the memory seat part of the car. If I'm not mistaken, the side mirrors does that too.

Also, if you look closely at the graphics on the right two buttons, it doesn't look like the universal symbol of a telephone picture.
Again, I believe it's probably something for the MID.

The phone controls are clearly on the left.

i really like the '06 IS250 but the '06 TSX will probably still be less expensive. IMO acura really hit the sweetspot with the '06 TSX: great nav, bluetooth, memory seats, gas mileage, mp3 aux, and enough hp for day-to-day use (don't let the 205hp fool you, with the old rating scale it's probably close to 215~220hp) all for under $30K

added features and power are nice of course (althought the small bump inpower is probably just an "on paper thing" sine I doubt you would feel the difference). But the styling changes are 
Not liking the new grill at all.

The '06 silver appears to be a bit darker, but that could just be because of the lighting in the photo. I can't imagine why Honda would just change the name and not the actual color.

Possibility of Updating?
Im not a big fan of the 06 yet, maybe it will be better in person...lets hope.
One thing that I ponder, would it be possible to add the new Multi Function Display/Hands Free link and the new navigation CPU to an 04-05 TSX?
I was contemplating a used TSX w/ navi but these new features are hard to resist. So if I could get a used TSX, update the nav and add handsfree link, it may just end up being a win-win situation. Let me know what you think...
