I like the looks of the C4 better,
It would be nice to have a trunk though

I got a C4 over a C5 because I liked the looks better, too, in particular from the front and rear. Also the C4 looks way better w/ the convertible top up. But the C5 is a better car.

They are the best thing on earth. Buy one post pictures, and give reviews in the C5 section.

Purchase a C5 and you're just another chump with a Vette
Purchase a C4 and you're just another chump with a Vette that comes with a built-in inferiority complex

The sad part is that it's funny because it's true.

A c4 costs less. You can get a really nice late model c4 convertible for 10k-11k. C5's are beautiful cars. I bought my c4 for a few grand less than I could have a c5 but I had a c4 when I was really young and the car I bought looks nearly like it except the interior is prettier.

The C4 has a cockpit feel to it compared to the C5. When you sink near the sills you know you are planted.
The C5 does not have this feel, but is more comfy on a long trip.
All in all, the C5 is obviously more advanced.
C5's are dime a dozen. In my parts C4's aren't on the streets as often.
If I was looking to spent $20k, I would look no further then a C5 Z06 and call it a day.
