Well the one publicity shot DID show the 18 inchers on it.
Which we know are 2006 material.

It also cuts down on making 2 sets of brochures. 2005 coupe/2005 vert
or 2005 coupe, 2006 vert/coupe.

AH AH AHHHHH....Trusting DEALER for reliable information??? Better be careful...read this board man. The dealers are notorious for flawed info. Matter of fact, most often, they are the single WORST SOURCE of good info.

I got a digital camera for Christmas and I decided to learn how to use it tonight. This is probably my first real camera ever, shy of the 11$ disposables in Kmart. Don't bash my picture skills as I havn't figured out what I am doing yet!

The current order guide has 2005 Convertibles listed. The car will be released as an '05

Oh wow! That is the color combo I want. Except for I want the red leather seats. Torch red and a black top makes that vert so much nicer IMO.

BlackRiderX....thanks for sharing the pictures! I REALLY like picture 4. Those 18" wheels look great on there.

I would think 06 is more likely. I've read it will be show this month at an auto show (detroit) and released in the spring. Why would they release an 05 in the spring of 05?

Any thoughts on that fact that the vert has a softer suspension then the coupe, with a larger "roll" bar (stabilizer?)?

Was this also the case for the previous generation?

I'm not sure but I have had the magazine for over a week now. I didn't think about the pics until I saw the thread. I sometimes get to see magazines a week early thanks to some "special" postal worker I know. I'll post more in the future if I see anything of interest.
