Default Add another C6 owner
Finally after driving myself nuts trying to find a C6 locally that wasn't a mess, I stumbled on to this one and bought it. I had a nice C5 for over 3 years. I was actually scared that I might not like the C6 as much, but that's not the case. The refinement and extra power helped me get over letting Blacky go. The C5's are still a great car though. I would highly recommend either one to anyone.

From a fellow new C6 owner, your links are broken, so I'll help you out.

Cheers

im so sorry, but i can't help but think "fast aging interior" on the C5's.. That alone was enough for me to up my budget to grab an '08. outside, C5? very nice... inside? not so much..

Congrats!!

(having said that i'm sure the C6 interior looks dated to C7 owners already lol)

I guess I'm in the minority when I say I think the C5 interiors look great.

The C7 3LT blows all previous generations away of course.
