Newbie stoopid Q's

[ksithumper]

Looking to swap my 530 BMW, and a Monaro has got its claws into me (ok, it's gnawing my leg off) following a test drive.

Need some help on identifying model years though (not VXR model). I understand the '06 MY cars have a newer engine and bonnet scoops - is that correct?

What pros and cons are there vs the older cars, or is it simply "the newer the better??"

Thanks, and I have no doubt I'll be meeting you all petrol stations and tyre dealers soon...

Open the boot for the largest -ve on 05+ cars. Zero space.

Only the 6.0 VXR has the newer engine, all the other are the 5.7l LS1. Like ringram says the models sans bonnet scoops have a much bigger boot.

Thanks guys - can I just be double sure on the bonnet sscoops - all '06 cars have them?

(In which case the 55 reg I drove isn't an 06 model as the dealer claimed...which is good news in as much as I need some negotiating points!)
