Which C5 Model Is More In Demand?
my favorite is a convertible 6 speed... though im inclined to believe the convertible automatic sells the most.
i assume the coupe auto is the least in demand.

Fixed Roof Coupe. Hard Tops. Made in 99 and 00. Most rare C5s IMHO especially 2000 models

The question is, "most in demand". Although I'm partial to the A4 coupe, I think the most in demand car is the Z06.

Which C5 Model Is More In Demand?
I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say most people are going to respond that it is the type they have.
And with that in mind, it is undoubtedly, pewter A4 verts with light oak tops.

You have to read the post to clarify how the term is being used.

COUPLE 6 SPEED??? Is there a car with two six speeds? If so, will it go twice as fast.
Or is it made strictly for coupling, like instead of front bucket seats is there a twin bed?
Sorry, I could not resist playing off of that typo.
As for the issue of the highest demand...
'97's one model - the coupe - a total of 9,092 were produced.
'98 the Vert was released - a total of 31,084 vettes were produced -
19,235 were coupes
11,849 were verts
a total of 7,106 6 speeds were produced in 1998...
So the trend for '98's highest demand vette would be the a4 coupe - with a total of 23,978 produced , far and away the highest demand.
As the years go by the trend of demand for used cars in each model may vary some, but I think that most people still prefer the a4 coupe.

This poll will be skewed no matter what. Do you want to know what's most in demand in the overall market (prob a coupe or vert with an A4), or most in demand on this forum? (probably a Z06 or anything with a manual.

Although IMO the C5 Z06 is the best C5, I'm guessing the A4 coupe followed by the A4 vert would be easiest to sell.
