so... your justification to buy a new car is solely due to the fact you paid-off your current car ????

plus 85% of the cars that leave Bowling Green are pre-sold, so I guess they are not hot sellers.

I can sympathize with you. The C5 is paid for, still has a lot more fun in it and I'm not tired of it yet. But, I do think about a C6 every once in a while.

Hmmnn... buy what I want? C6 not a hot seller? If you look at the slump GM is in now the C6 is one of their bright spots as far as sales are concerned...

New C7? yep bring on the Blue Devil..... or Z06 SS.... whatever in the heck GM decides to call it. No matter it should be SSSSAAAWWEETT!
