Only thing I have seen that comes close to the C5 overall is this car and it's a combination of C1 & C5. Everything inside and underneath is
C5 i believe. C5 is still the best.

I've seen an early (1953-55) C1 on a C5 and it really looks all out of proportion. This '62 kit is so much nicer looking.

Nope -- but the updated ones with the body-color rub strip and more open wheels look fine. I frequently got comments from folks who thought my '93 was new. The flip-ups are the most dated thing on these and the C5's have 'em too. Not ugly at all -- just not 21st century auto design, which I guess means dated.
You guys need to check out the C4 community some time. Half of 'em seriously hate the C5 (big butt, derivative of the 3rd gen RX-7, etc.) I don't hate any generation, (except maybe the Sharks, boy does that put me in the minority) but who cares. I suppose they're busy ragging on our C5's in the C6 community right now!
