Per another thread here, 2006 production starts in July 2005.

I am thinking of holding out for the 2006. I am hoping GM will come out with a five or six speed automatic transmission.

How long from July production until they hit the market?

Thanks,

James

I took delivery of my 2003 on July 22, 2002. Mid July is possible for the C6 also if things settle down. Of course your dealer needs allocation, you have to be high up on the dealer list, etc., etc.

Any specs on the 2006 for sure yet? Just curious since they are seeming to have such trouble with the verts, what they are going to do with the 06 models.

Wonder if they will knock 11K off MSRP so they can get more allocations...If that happens I will get one...... just like I got my '04...
