I agree. Too bad the lineage was spoiled with the C6 by sharing it's platform with Cadillac.

It's a great machine, but 6 litres and 400 hp is mighty appealing.

All I can think of is how prized the '67s are now, being the last of the C2s. That's why I went out and bought my 2004~! To each his own, and 400 hp would be real nice; but the C5s have it all over the C6s in the looks dept. I do recall that when the C5 first came out, it reminded me of an Acura NSX. But at least I like NSXs. Now the front of the new one reminds of a Viper, with a little RX8 thrown in, neither of which I'm wild over.
Long live the C5!
