Does it really matter what any one of us thinks? Does it?

It doesnt, but I dont blame him for seeking advice about it.

I could have bought a c6, when I was shopping for mine. I just really love the lines on a c5. I do however like the c6 engines alot more, so I bought a c5 with a ls3 swap. Best of both worlds!

I love my C5 and would never change

I invested a lot of time and effort in modifying it to make the move home to England. I have quite a few $ in the car.

I like the DIC diagnostics which the C6 doesn't have which makes it easier to identify problems and buy spares. It makes DIY much easier.
I also understand the C5 and I'd be starting from scratch on a C6.

FWIW, I drove the C6 a few times. Great engineering, love the extra HP, disappointed with the interior and the looks are still not an improvement for me.

Looks like you already made the decision.
