Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! 
Wow, very broad question. For starters, the C5 and C6 are similar in many ways yet very different in many ways. If you've never been in or driven either, you should probably start by driving at least one example of both to see what appeals to you more. Then you can come here and ask more specific questions in the C5 General and C6 General Forums. Very generally, the C6 is more refined and comfortable besides having more power and being quicker. Obviously money can be a limiting factor too and that's where the C5's have the advantage. Good luck with your research. Enjoy the Forums.
