it's useless to keep worrying about new cars coming out and new accessories coming out, facelifts, etc. etc.

It's gonna happen nearly every year. If you keep worrying about new things coming out, just don't buy a car and get a catalog. I wouldn't worry about it and just go ahead and do what you like.

For cars and computers, this seems pretty good. It's good to keep an eye out for deals once in a while, though.

Our local Benz place has a BIIIG, tacky-looking "SALE C" sign on the window. It makes the place look like a Kmart or something. So much for that air of grace, style, and class...

Does anyone know if the 'new' clear lense headlights are simply the projector Bixenon housings without the bixenon arc lamps? I.E. regular halogens in them?

If so, how much would just the clear lensed housings cost? Might be cheaper to go this route and add in a HIDs for less Xenon kit...since steve thought COupe Xenons would be at least 1500.
