EB is one of the best colors on the C5, IMO.

Hi mitchb -

The previous posters are correct - 02 and 03 were the only years for EB.

In 04, Le Mans blue replaced EB in the lineup.

Le Mans is slightly darker, and in my opinion, EB has more of a metallic look .

EB is why I waited for an 02 before I bought.



best regards-

I spent almost 3 years looking for an EB coupe or a vert with a blank interior before I finally gave up. They are hard to find (in Canada at least). Are owners hanging on to them?
