Mine is also 05/06. I was surprised to see that it was so fresh off the boat, in that we bought the car in the last week of June 2006.

Slightly off topic, but can we determine the production # of our IS from the VIN ???
On my Acura, the last 5 digits of the VIN is the production # - ie 2HNYD18945H12345 = #12,345 made that model year. Anyone know how to decipher the VIN ???

I don’t know all the codes for each auto, but for G35 Coupes for instance, with a sample VIN: JNKCV54E83M200001, it breaks down as follows:

J=Japan = Country of Origin
N= Nissan = Manufacturer
K=Infiniti = Manufacturing Division
C= VQ35DE = Engine Type
V5= G35 = Model/Series
4= 2 Door Coupe = Body Style (1 = 4-Door Sedan)
E = Air bag, restraint system information
8 = The VIN check digit, always 0-9 or X
3= 2003 = model year
M= Tochigi = Manufacturing plant code
200001= Production Sequence Number, Serial number

So as you suggest, your Acura would have been the 12,345th car made model YTD.
