One additional option you should consider is Comfort Access.

It seems that most on the board hate the idea of the new push-button start as it requires 2 steps without CA. Many days, while fishing for my key in pockets, briefcase etc., I wish CA was available for my '05. I am planning to order it next time!

If you are in the US, your only choices are dark poplar or anthracite. I think the poplar is much richer looking, but that is me.

Nice color choices on the outside.

Light poplar really does it for me.

If you're not considering HUD then you may want to avail yourself of a loaner for a couple days and see what you would be missing...

Oh, boy - it's fun to spend someone else's money for the holidays!

If you live in a colder climate, I would recommend the Cold Weather Package. I've never had a heated steering wheel before, but it's one of the nicest feaures ever. And don't forget to add rear seat heating if you have kids to shuttle around.

I also second the nomination of Premium Sound. It rocks!

And how about HUD to go with NAV?

If you're getting Nav then HUD would be a great addition for only $1K
