Took delivery of new 2008 coupe, Crystal Red with Cashmere interior. Traded my 99 coupe. I can't believe the difference in the ride and sound inside the vehicle. I thought my 99 was a grear car,but it can't hold a candle to the new one. Employee pricing did for me. My dealer, Lewes Auto Mall found exactly what we wanted in Columbia SC and had it shipped to Delaware at no charge. Thanks guys!!

Many of us here moved up from a C5 (the lucky ones got to keep their C5...), and there is indeed a huge and satisfying difference between the two. If I had both, I know which one I would choose to drive though........
