The only reason we saw the changes in the C4 was to keep interest as the C5 was pushed back. The original C5 timeline had the car as a 93 model car.
And I believe 8 years is plenty long for a generation. I would hate to see 13 year production cycles for a generation like we saw in the C4 and the 14 year cycle for the C3.
I have heard many talk about the "evolutionary" change from C5 to C6. Back when C5 was in the works, this changes was also refered to as "evolutionary". I think we are confusing what is meant by this term. The C4 to C5 transition to me was evolutionary in the fact that the basic layout of the car is preserved: rear drive, front engine OHV V8. I would characterize a revolutionary change in a mid-engine and/or AWD design, a large departure from what the car has been for most of its 50 years.
Personally, what I've seen so far I like. I'm really interested to see what the interior updates hold and am looking forward to the release at the Detroit show. My plan is to replace my C4 vert with a C6 vert in a few years.
