Default 2006 versions?

Does anyone know if there is a 1/12 or 1/18 model of a 2006 C6 yet? I have only been able to fine 2005 versions. I know they are almost the same but the steering wheels are different and Id like to get one to match my car.

The Z06's in 1/18 are labeled as 2006's. The Hot Wheels(Mattel) Z06 is out, and the AutoArt Z06 is supposed to be out soon. All other C6's, both 1/18 and 1/12, are 2005's. Here's a link to an Ebay auction for the Hot Wheels Z06 that shows the interior...

The 2006 Coupes are, like you say, virtually identical to the 2005's other than the steering wheel. You could easily get a Hotwheels coupe and another Hotwheels Z06 and swap the steering wheels, resulting in a 2006 coupe. The parts interchange perfectly. I did this exact swap for the DSOM 2006 Coupe in the attached photos. Hotwheels doesn't make a coupe in Yellow yet, but you could disassemble one and repaint it like I did this one. It started out as a Machine Silver Coupe with a Black interior.
