I expect low sales of LX/LC MY2006
With the bodystyle of the LX/LC expected to change in 2007, I would expect a lower sales volume for the 2006 model. Yes, the 2006 model will have more HP, but I would think that many people will not want to buy a vehicle that a) is on its last run style-wise and b) is on a first run of a souped up engine. What do you think?

The LX is rather old, its been around since 1998 but they sell every one they can build. People buy it b/c its the best or one of the best, even with newer models from other companies around.

Plus 99.9% of the public can't tell the difference between a 1998 and a 2006

I'll keep what I have, been true to me since I was 16 when every other SUV I have owned hasn't. When I feel like something sportier I'll most likely just take the ferrari out of the garage.
Thanks for the thought though.
