Why do think the C5 is the hottest looking Vette ever?
I think it is a rolling piece of art, real sleek low to the ground race car look. To me its a life long keeper, I thank GOD for blessing me with a hot looking ride.

The contour of the lines and the general shaping of the total structure.
Looks like the C5 evolved "from" the C6

It's the best because my wife thinks I look really HOT in it.
oh yeah, and the car looks great, rides great, is fast, sounds cool, gets good mileage, and it's fast, looks cool, great on cruises, and is fast, and...ITS MADE IN AMERICA.
I have to admit, I also really like the C2. But I can't afford one of them.

I loved my 63' Coupe, but it was a truck compared to the C5.
The lines were great on it (for its day) and I wished in hindsight that I'd kept it as I could trade it for a couple of C5's.
As far as looks, I think that some of you will agree that the GENERAL could have put out options (front end, read end, etc. Body parts rather than after market bolt ons.
For comfort, performance and looks you have to go a ways to get better. Lambos and the rest are two square. I like the way the body flows. It's just damn "pretty".

Looks sleek, looks fast. Can't really think of ANYTHING I don't like about my '04. It's got a great cup holder, lot of room in the side pockets on the doors, and the console is plenty deep enough for almost anything!!!!

I don't think that the C5 is necessarily the hottest looking Vette yet - I have some very strong feelings for the '63-67 Vettes. But, the lines on the C5 are great and I would say it is right up there with the mid-years.
