You need an Ophthalmologist.

The C6 rules.

Great picture. And it's too close to call. Both look great and both are winners.

Love 'em both...
Loved every one I've ever had.

Trying to talk resident CFO into keeping C5 (White), and just pay for ordered C6 (Black), rather than trading in.

Ebony and Ivory...in the garage.

The C5 looks bigger to me, the extra 5" makes a bigger difference than one would think. Both are beautiful.

They're both gorgeous, but the C6 makes the C5 look dated.

I kind of think the car looks a little better with some front and rear overhang....

I'm tired of the trend of moving the wheels to the very corners to increase the wheelbase and having everything look like an egg.




They both are pretty, I just think some overhang looks good.
