Sorry to be asking, what I am sure must be old stuff, but......

I am thinking of buying an 06-08 SLE convertible. Can anyone tell me what 'improvements' they made from the 06 to 07 to 08? Is any one of these more desirable than the others? Any things to look out for? Any special options that are good to have?
I really appreciate the help.
TIA
Gerry V.

btw: I currently have an 02 SLE convertible, which I like very much....just have gotten in the mood to get something newer.

I think 2007 and 2008 are the same. There were changes from 2006 to 2007 but not sure what they were.

The only changes I know of are the led tails, back up lights in bumper, minor body styling changes, and changing of radio color from green to blue. These changes occurred between the '06 to '07 models.

Other changes are ACTUAL tire pressure sensors in the tire (not sure which year they changed). The one thing I'm jealous about is the new radios for the 07-08's: mp3, bluetooth and auxillary input. I like the LED tails but not a fan of the reverse lights in the bumper but as far as everything else it's the same across the whole Gen 2 line.

The responses have been very helpful.......especially the link to the company brochures. They really do a good job of showing the options, etc.
Thanks again
