I just picked up my 05.5 today, and I LOVE this car! I've been in the market for an A3, and ordered my car in October. The car came in last week, but after visiting the lot and talking to the salesman a bit, I found out about the sweet dealer cash back that Audi was giving for 05.5 A4's... The dealership I've been working with happened to have one built ALMOST exactly as I would have built it myself:

05.5 Quartz Grey
3.2L V6 Quattro Tip
Premium Package
Lighting Package
Sport Package w/all seasons
Cold Weather Package
Nav+
Walnut trim

Normally, I would have been turned off at the thought of wood on the inside of my car, but the walnut trim is really quite a nice touch. In L.A., I don't really need the cold weather package, but the heated seats ARE nice. I'd have preferred the performance tires, as well as the upgraded audio in mine also, but I can't complain. The best part: I got out the door at $40,458! Probably just about $5k more than my fairly loaded 2.0T A3 would have cost me.

I think at this point in time, the 05.5's are a fantasic bargain, not to mention the MY 05 warranties are better than the '06's. My car came out costing $1,000 less than an '06 2.0TQ w/S-Line would have cost me.

I'll try and post some pics tomorrow, but I hear it might rain for NYE.

Glad you like the car! I have an avant myself. They're so much fun to drive. Enjoy the 6 cylinders!

I just picked an 05.5 and I live in LA also. Mine came with the aluminum trim versus the wood trim. If you want to trade, let me know.
