Excellent choice and less work to keep clean than black.

I came from this black C5.

To this MS. My MS turns more heads because I never got to drive the Black C5. I was always cleaning it!

It's funny because I came from a Black 00 C5. I guess you can only put up with black so long. lol

I am and always be a fan of Black. I really didn't want to buy this Silver C6 that I have, but it was a great deal, so I got it. I must say, it is growing on me. The best thing I like about it is the fact even when it is somewhat dirty, it still looks clean. My Black vehicles get washed I would say 5 times for every one time for the Silver C6. I like that a lot.

Not into chrome and "bling", but I really do like this color. I must admit however, if a deeper metallic gray ever comes out ... or a deep metallic green with a brown leather interior ... it might be time to trade.

Machine Silver is by far the best color, IMHO. Unfortunately, I waited too long to order one, and now it is no longer available for order on an 08. Oh well, my second choice is CRM, and that ain't bad.

I've had mine for 3 years now. I like also that it doesn't take much to keep clean.

A black 95Z28 and a black 97Z28 were my last black cars. I will never get black again!! Silver isn't for everyone, but it does look nice and sharp (my wife says classy) and I love being able to go for days or even weeks in the winter without washing it.

Sometimes choosing a color is the hardest decision to make.
