My favorite feature of my C5 over my 4th gen is the ability to turn.
It handles more like a corvette than a pickup truck. Sure, my 4th was fast in a straight line (well it FELT fast..) but trying to do anything on the mildly curvy roads here in ATL was not fun.
honestly.. I don't see a problem.
I'm a big time GM fan.. why? Because when GM "makes a new engine" it's not a specific engine for a specific car thats entirely proprietary and entirely different from it's predecessors. Because GM finds something that works.. and they do it over and over again making small changes as necessary as time goes on.
I traded from an LS1 to an LQ4 to an L99 and I can be "in the loop" on the technical side of all 3 without missing much of a beat.
Other than the bailouts, I have NO complaints.
Domestics have a reputation though.. when I told a friend I bought a new camaro (he owns a base model mazda 3) he said "lol, I like cars that corner thanks."
He has no idea.
