I get the impression from Mike Lynch and others that the '06 will have the digital equipment. Partially substiantated by the fact that the electronics aren't compatible enough for them to offer it on the 2006 9-3. Given that, one might expect that they'd apply the same logic to sales of OnStar on the 9-5.
What sucks (to use your word), is if I'm understanding correctly, and that anyone with an older OnStar system.. MIGHT not have it functioning after the end of 2006. It sucks for anyone, but when you factor that people actually bought THIS brand FOR the advantages of telematics, and spent significant $, it's pretty crappy. What if the pickup bed on the truck you got, just fell off and you couldn't use it after 12/31/2006? Or the radio. People would be pretty bummed, I suspect.
I hope to hear better news. Mike, I just may extend my curiosity on the new BMWs, though we already have one, and two BMWs seems a little gauche- though they are great cars.
