Default Any changes/improvements from 05 to 06 model?

I'm new to Lexus. In fact this is gonna be my very first LEXUS coming off from all BMW family. I never thought I would own a Lexus because it was so boring as in driving characteristic. But with the incentive going for the 06 LS430 I just couldn't help but to joint in on the saving of a quality car. (by the way I'm picking it up tomorrow)

My Question is there any change from 05 to 06 model? I was going for the M45 but LS430 offers more room for my old folks in the back. I love the tech gadget on the M45, I guess I'm been pamper with all the tech toys by BMWs and Infiniti that I just not quite as impress with the LS430 except the price , comfort and the signature rock solid build quality.

So, back to the question. What are the changes and improvement from on the 2006 model compare to the 2005? Thanks.

No differences.

If you like gadgets- good choice on the Lexus. They have WAY more toys for the buck and they don't nickel and dime you for every little thing. I REALLY like having ventilated seats and NOT knowing that I would have paid 1800 for them seperately as per the Mercedes. That kind of thing seems rediculous. 1800 to have some air blow on my rear???

But with the LS430 it's in the package. No nickel and dime. Couldn't have saved money if I wanted to.

HAve fun with it-

No difference at all! Horsepower is rated a little differently because they changed the way it is rated. It's a great car regardless which year you choose.
