No plans. I really dislike the current C6 styling and exterior dimensions. Even with the improved performance, the exterior design ruins it for me. I have no doubt there will be another Corvette at some point in my future, but it will not be a 2005 C6. Whenever I do decide to purchase my next Corvette, I plan to keep my current C5. To me, it's a classic.

It's hard to say how things will go in the future, but right now I have a lot invested in my car. Besides right now my main focus is my house. I will not be changing my C5 anytime soon.......

Not a chance! I dislike everything about the C6.
Unless GM does a mid-run redesign on the C6, this C5 will be my last vette (unless I can convince my brother to part with his cherry '63 split
).

Not sold on the new front facia
I'm not. I'll just wait until the new one depreciates to half the value and enjoy my C5 until then. I mean, come on, the C5 is nearly perfect. Why lose all the money in depreciation in buying new?

No way, and my money is burning a hole in my pocket. My C5 is 10X better looking then the C6. I have a gut feeling that the 2008 C6 will have significant styling revisions, so I'll take a second look then.

I finally got my first Vette...a new 2004 CE coupe, in July. I like the C5 style better than the new C6 photos I have seen. Though maybe the C6 will grow on me. It happened with the C5...at first I liked the C4's better than the new C5...but after seeing them for a few years...I changed my mind.
I'd like to wait and see how the C6 shakes out, bugs are identified, and then see what I think in a few years.

I don't know. I was planning on a C6 Z06 in 07 or 08. But if I don't get
that feeling of awe and amazement like I have for the C5, I may be moving
my ball to another court.
Hate to say it, but them-theres the facts!

I'm keeping my C5
Nope, just got my first Vette a few months ago and am totally satisfied with it. Sure, extra horsepower and all the new toys would be nice, but the C5 is such a good-looking, awesome car in its own right, I"ll have mine for many many years to come. Plus, the C6 looks kinda funny up front and in the (chopped off) rear end.
