Kidnapped !!!!!!!!!!!
With all the talk about the new '07 steering wheel, it is with deep regret that I bring this to the forum's attention.
This is indeed a sad day for '05 owners.

I know its tough, but you 2005 owners just need to accept the fact that the Pilsbury Doughboy is gone for ever! Its time to move on.

I am 100% fine with my doughboy and think the '07 looks like an anorexic steering wheel. Dainty and scrawny. Something taken directly from a toy car.
2005 is big and beautiful. OK I would love to have the controls.
I think I found where they got the design idea for the 07 steering wheel:

Gee, that's up in Stan's part of the country - and I know how much he likes his Doughboy steering wheel. Maybe he wanted it

I'm not at liberty to discuss this case while there's an ongoing investigation. All I can say at this point is that it doesn't appear to be terrorist related. In the meantime, I have installed 24 hour surveillance around my steering wheel.

Actually,upon closer inspection,the C5 steering wheel is the Famous doughboy,while the c6 05 steering wheel is Actually the doughboy after several years of lifting weights!!!
Please take note of the finer definition of the lines on the wheel!!
p.s. I LOVE MY 05!!

the Doughboy was not kidnapped, he just checked himself into the hospital, yeast infection.

I just hope that they aren't torturing him. I, I just remember what they did to Joe Camel. I understand that Joe had to go......, but I liked him. .
