I like my c4 but the c5 is faster than mine or at least feels faster so I don't know. After all blue is my favorite color but I the is nothing like the sound of my c4 with my corsas so Im going with the c4.

They both look clean. I think the C5 looks better, but the C4 is still a sexy beast.

My dad and uncle have had about 20-25 vettes combined when they where younger. Not surprising he let me get one(and even pays the insurance )

they haven't had one since i can remember but my uncle is dying to get another one one of these days.

Both have tan interior. I like both. They are similar and yet very different. The C4 is an A4 with base suspension. The prior owner (forum member Jet-Jock for those of you here in C4 gen) rebuild the the suspension and had installed new Bilstiens. Drives perfect, rides excellent, and yes, the Corsa's sound good. The C5 is a Z51 6M car with Koni's. Can be a little harsh on really bad surfaces, but I like it that way. The C5 is faster and handles better, but in my opinion the LT1's sound way better than the LS1's. They are both very enjoyable cars in their own way. And for the record, before we bought the C4, I let him take the C5 way more than he has let me take the C4.
