Dealer has a new C6 parked out front. Looks alot better in person IMHO.
I like the new tread on the Runflats and the new rims. Also, I like the new design on how the window has guides on the front edge and also fits underneath and into the roof panel instead of just being forced against the weatherstripping when the door closes.
I don't however like the fact that there is no key entry on the drivers side door. At least on the C5 if your keyfob suddenly goes bad you can get in with your key. I am curiuos to see if there are going to be any problems with that.
I still love my C5 and will easily be over the C6 HP and improve my handeling after my mods are done.

In before the move! They definitely are sweet cars but I'll wait 3 or 4 years.

I haven't seen one yet except on here and tv ads. I may have to run down to the local chevy dealer and check them out.

I like the C6 also, but my C5 is just fine for now. Perhaps in a few years I will decide to make the jump.
