Default 2005 Changes

Anyone heard anything about new stuff that they are doing to the '05s? I was looking at reviews for the car because I plan on getting one after the winter and I saw this.

"News The 2005 Z-cars get several upgrades. As with the early-arriving '05 midsize Altima sedans, Nissan answers critics by replacing cheap-looking interior trim with better-quality stuff, including soft-touch material on the dashboard and console. Also added are lower-dashboard knee pads, a padded console armrest, redesigned automatic shifter, and shoulder-belt "service arms" that eliminate the need to reach behind when buckling up. There's a sturdier center-dashboard lid too, with power operation on cars with optional navigation. Finally, the '05 Zs adopt Euro-market suspension calibrations said to give a smoother ride, plus a tandem brake booster to replace a single master cylinder.

Nissan has hinted at more available power and other enhancements for future Zs. The most likely, we think, are a supercharger option, possibly by 2006, and available all-wheel drive borrowed from the platform-related Infiniti G35 sedan. "

Any truth to that? And has anyone else headr anything different?

All of that is on the 2004.5 models

Oh, that's cool. Hear anything about the power adders? Also, does anyone with the 2004.5 models have navigation? What is the door over the screen like? Motorized?
