the one thing that is worth waiting to see is that the 2006 models are reported to be equipped with navi-DVD systems and that would be well worth it to get the OEM system.
Oh, I meant both 250hp models against each other.

And yes, Navi would be a factor. They want to buy this August. Do you think the 2006 with possible Navi will be avaliable then?

(I thought shushies were better matches with turbo engines - because there is no throttle lift on upshifts )

ADDED: Looked at some further info on both models, I'm leaning towards hawking the Legacy 2.5GT Wagon with auto.
