Other than the 6 speed automatic, are there any other differences that define a 2005 vs 2006?
If I were to look at the 2005, are there any problems that the 2006 corrected?
Thanks.

Welcome to the CAC! :CAC

I do not know enough to comment much. In the case of the C5, the changes from year to year were incremental. I suspect that the C6 is mostly the same way. The C6 drivers will be along soon to fill in the details.
 
Corrected in 2006

In a manual trans, the 05 needs to be in reverse or else the battery will drain. 06 corrected that . Also the XM wart on the 05 is hidden in the 06.
 
The steering wheel is different

a peek at the steering will tell you at a glance.
 
'06 - differences:
different steering wheel - 3-spoke vice 4
XM antenna in the mirrors now rather than stuck on the roof or rear deck
Little "GM" badge on the rear fender right in front of the rear wheel opening
A6

Other than that, not much.
 
And lets not forget those all important chrome rings around the dashboard dials.
 
'07 differences:
No underhood light
No lock on the console
Radio controls on steering wheel on the 3LT pkg
 
'07: 2-tone interior
