My dealer has an '06 and there was one on ebay selling (the red convertible with the srt wheels). FYI yes it came out in mid '05 as an '06 model the same way that my '05 base coupe that i bought in July '04 and it was titled as an '05. The dealers just don't want to order any '06's due to slow sales and possible full lots of '05's unsold. Dealers will tell you anything. Talk to the source. And the 5 star thing, please almost every dealer here in South Florida is a 5 star that means nothing. And the value of your car going up??? Why don't you ask how much it went up??? They won't have an answer because its not accurate information. Call DC for product information and ask them. Many dealers don't know much about the car anyways as far as part origin, assembly, service, repairs, etc...
