I read here that 2007s are going to start being built in June. I don't know the history here (when did they start building 2006s?) but that sounds kind of early in the year to my uneducated ear.
Anybody want to speculate that this "early start" (if I'm right about that) implies anything about the level of or type of changes for 2007?

GM said the 2005 build was extended because of the slow start when the C6 was first introduced and they wanted people to be able to get a 2005. I think everyone would have been happier with a 2006 model so the real reason, IMHO, was that the 6 speed automatic was not ready for production in June.

They eliminated the retractable headlights and that move has been well received on the C6.
For 2007, they may remove one of the front wheels and re-name the car the Trivette. But then again maybe not.

On-Star will be standard, whether you want it or not, and the base price will go up to accomodate it. Or maybe not.
Option packages will be renamed yet again:
1LT = CHEAPSKATE
2LT = Wishy-washy
3LT = Rich sucker
. . . or maybe not . . .
