I was asking if "honest car dealers" really exist. Not in my experience.

What's the big deal about the '06? Sure, if you're still waiting for your car, getting it is a very big deal. But between the '05 and the '06? A small difference in depreciation down the road, for being one year younger, and maybe (?) a slight price rise (?), but other than that, it's a Prius either way.

I think it depends on "how far you're standing away from it".

From one standpoint, there are very few differences between the '05 and the '06. Structurally, cosmetically (with some extremely minor changes) and in its guts, they're the same car. A person who's into cars wouldn't even blink at the differences.

On the other hand, for the person who's thinking about buying a Prius now -- particularly if they're into the tech and the gadgets -- there's some things that may be worth waiting for. Leather, MP3 radio with AUX-IN, tire pressure indicators (though you can buy them for any car for fairly little $$); maybe there's someone out there who really wants the rear-view camera.

There is one item that is of somewhat greater appeal in the '06 -- at least to me and my 5'2' partner -- smarter airbag deployment tech. She's ordered the '06, and is glad of that feature.

When her '06 comes in, I'll be curious to look over the differences in the car; but I really don't think I'll be lusting over it, or feel that I'm driving an "inferior" Prius. (I like to think that the term "inferior Prius" is an oxymoron. ).

Frontier toyota...

They are really honest and they are selling it for MSRP.

You must have missed the recent discussion concerning the rip off prices they charge for the extended warranty and their sales tactics.

Beware dealer Extended warranties prices....

There are a few things that make the 06 model important to me. They have increased the HP to 110,
the leather seats, a voice activated NAV, and finally I like the backup camera.

I have on order Package #8 seaside pearl options EF and Z1.
