Default c5 vs c6

Went to a stealer yesterday to look for a car for the SO.. had a comm ed. c5 and a (mag red??) c6. The SO looks at both of them and says, the red c6 looks like a girls carin that color, it needs to be redder..plus the c5 looks faster and sleeker. Says the interior of the C6 is more like a luxury car and the C5 looks sportier. She knows absolutely nothing about cars, so this judgement is final. She like the C5 , says it looks faster .

Oh, she says TORCH RED is THE color for a VETTE

I have a black C4 and a yellow C5 ... the model differences notwithstanding, I have less people trying to hit me and cut me off in the yellow than the black ...

Black is great, but in the parking lot of corporate America, where everthing is some shade of silver/grey the yellow definitely stands out better ...

Just my $.02

I think Ferrari designed that front end style before Mopar.
