This jsut isn't sucking up, but having had a C3, it took me while to get used to the C4. I am not a big fan of the back bumper on the C5. I am starting to believe the C4 is the best looking.

They just don't look right in the front.Euro head lights just don't fit.Be nice if GM changes them. I prefer the hide aways. It is a corvette trait.Think I'll keep my c4. If I do change, it will be to a c2, not a c6.

The only place I'm seeing them is on the Dealer's lots and there's quite a few of them (along with plenty of deeply discounted C-5's). On the other hand, I've seen 2 new Silver Clouds roaming the streets and the Mustang seems to be much bigger deal (if not better styled). Considering 1/5 of the Corvette production is sold in So. Cal, I'm a bit surprised, but I'm not a fan of the C6. The rear has a Caddy CHMSL and NOS C4 taillights. The front would be ok - until you hang a license plate on the front of it. Time will tell, but Chevy has got to tap into the GEN X'rs as the traditional market - us Boomers - are beginning to buy Buicks and if they can't do that, then the car will probably fall by the wayside. Lots of quality issues contine plague the car - production delays on the tranny; the first 5000 recalled due to brake line problems - wow.

I had a Silver vert on order that I had to cancel to prepare for the work and financial issues that need to be in order for the house that we will eventually have built. It was a sad day for me when I called to cancel my order. My order would have been placed 2 weeks ago and I would have taken delivery in 3-4 weeks from now!

I like the new mustang... kinda has a classic styling...
very good job by ford.
I say that as I can't stand the look of 95% of the mustang crap on the road...
I don't understand that commercial though, I realize it's supposed to be a 'Field of Dreams' setting, but who's the old guy that comes out? Or is it just supposed to be some random person from the era that inspired the redesign?

They can keep the C6. It looked a whole lot better in pictures. And even then, it wasn't "AWE INSPIRING" just ehh(to me).
Speaking of Mustangs....I am more than likely getting a 2005 red/black gt when I sell the audi.
