Actually I had another local Honda dealer email me yesterday that he just got a 2006 CVT on the lot. He knows I bought a 2005 in July from another local dealer (he didn't have one in July when I was looking, but he expected his to be delivered at end August). I told him if I bought another one, it'd be a manual as I prefer manuals and they get better mileage. I saw a new (never sold) 2004 for sale in New Jersey - blue, manual that I'm semi-considering. It's relatively cheap to ship to CA and the 2004 qualifies for the carpool lane stickers (for one driver cars) whereas the 2005 does not.
