Here's some info by Consumers Reports on why you should wait for the second model year of production. I love my 2006, I'm glad I waited.
Consumer Reports' auto-reliability surveys show that most newly designed models have more problems during their first model year than in the model year before or in the model years that follow. First-year models continue to have more problems as they age. Our advice: Wait one or even two years before buying a new design until the manufacturer has had a chance to work out the bugs.
