Consider that not only are you asked to return a complex form but also to contribute to the cost of processing. If that doesn't influence the sample characteristics, I don't know what does.

Mike didn't they switch back to a double row IMS bearing sometime in '06? Other than that I haven't heard or read of any first year problems with the '05s.

Keith, if I were in your situation, I'd go for the 05, even though I prefer the looks, both inside and out of the earlier cars.

Good luck, you'll enjoy either one you end up with.
