A C6 would be a downgrade for me.

Cuz I hate those ugly azz Bugeye Sprite, Saturn Skye looking headlites. I don't care how bright they are. I don't care if it has more power. I don't who else has one. I don't care to eat the depreciation on it and I much prefer my C5 Anny Vert color combo. AND I like you guys better too.

I just don't like the way the C6 looks. Especially the rear. It's "butt" ugly.

For me it wasn't worth it. Until 2008 the C6 could not keep up with my Z06. Stock of course. My experience at the race track. I don't go to the drag strip. Plus I hate the look of the hatch back. Now with the ZR1 it's a different story. That car just looks good.

Well, the C7 will be out in a few years, so I think I'll skip the C6 all togather.

The C6 is still growing on me but not enough that I'd want to sell my C5-plus seems like I can't keep anything stock..start all over again..don't think so.

My stock C5Z is still faster than a stock C6 and I think the C5 looks better so it's an easy choice. A new lightly modded LS3 might change my mind, but nothing less than a C6 Z06 is worth my time at this point.

Numbers 2 and 4 are enough incentive to hold off buying a C6

I picked up a 1 year old C class Mercedes as a daily driver for the price difference between my 2002 C5 and a new C6. Now I have the C5 (which I love) and a great daily driver.
