No mention of the diesel.

Are the 06's arriving now the 07's they are referring to?

Out of the above, the only thing that i desire is the DVD NAVI. Otherwise, i am sure that the improvements will be nice, but i can live with what i have now. One thing that i do NOT want is the 7-speed auto...not enough history with it for me to trust it. (One of my headlights is cracked from stone...so, i am happy that i don't have HIDs because that would be quite expensive to replace.)
