very soon

I just made my option decisions with a list of options codes my dealer faxed over and he added a note to one of the pages stating that House of Imports will be recieving the 05's within the first week of May.

Most of the options remain the same. Diamond Black is the only 'new' color as far as I can tell. No more "Comfort Package" or "Rear Seat Package" as both have been turned into individual options. The only options changes that i noted were the addition of the DVD COMAND system (which also says 'delayed availability) next to it) and the "Entertainment Package" which hosts a 320 watt Harmon/Kardon sounds system and 6-disc changer.

Hope that helps, pal.

How about price changes?
I am waiting for the 2005's but want to know if base and option package prices are going up.
TIA

I'm not sure what the price difference is going to be and my dealer says they haven't recieved that info quite yet. He guessed a $300-400 dollar increase on the base price and said certain options will drop in price while others rise.
For example, the old "Comfort Package" is now an individual option with a power driver's seat/ steering column and memory but the power passenger seat has been dropped. He thought that package would come down to around $870.
In contrast, the old Premium Sound System now becomes the "Entertainment Package" with the H/K audio and changer - I was given an estimate of $1,200 for that. The only other packages are "Lighting" and "Sunroof" and they may well stay the same.
I was told I'd hear pricing a week or two before the cars arrive so I'll try and post an update then.
