2006 changes?

Just curious as to the latest about production being delayed for the 06 and changes that will be put into the new car--steering wheel, possible six speed auto, new colors? I will be selling my C5 soon and am not sure whether to hold out for the 06 or get an 05 now

The only changes that anyone knows for sure is the steering wheel and two new colors. Now if that is enough to wait for then do so. If not get a C6 now and enjoy it all summer.

Dave at Kerbeck's said that the new red is Monterey Red and he said that some Chevy contacts he had described it as "drop dead gorgeous". I haven't seen it anywhere though.
