More knee padding or more sound deadening.. Or both

A dealership near me has been installing the same rims on the 2006. I have a 2005 35th Anniversary (superblack), and when I bought it, one of the selling features was the rims as being a distinctive part of the 35th. LOL, because they were brought over onto the 06 models. I think the new hood looks stupid as well as appearing to be a non-functional revision. My 35th produces just as much power stock, so what's the real reason for it. I have an artistic eye, and that hood certainly doesn't "catch it". The only thing that makes sense is removing the buttons from the steering column, but knowing Nissan, they will probably appear on another model this year.
I still like my headlights better with the amber strip. When are they ever going to make cheaper tire replacements? argggggggggg.

Good call!!! I would have never noticed. I have an '06 and I cannot stand ,trying to search and find the VDC button, when I want to drive more aggressively at a moments notice
I want to see if I can move the VDC Button to the "blank button" next to the heated seat switches.

Don't know how they can make such a commitment but, equally, it makes no sense to make radical engineering changes every year.
Interested to see how the 2007 gets reviewed as more guys get their hands on them.

Ok i just read the entire artical and it said the engine would have a 5 year life span. But it aso mentioned the engine being used in several types of cars from all-wheel, f-wheel and r-wheel drive it says nothing about the Z keeping the Motor for 5 years. Nissan might use the motor for 5 years in many of there cars, but i do not think that statement means the Z will have the same engine for 5 years
But that's just how i read the article
