Default Corvette C6

Hey guys. I recently watched the Jeremy Clarkson Heaven and Hell DVD and the segment with the C6 Corvette and TVR Sagaris was very interesting to me. One of Jeremey's critisisms of the new Vette was that it has a live axel. This means solid rear axle correct? I always thought that the Corvette had independant suspension since the C4 days. My friend sent me a picture of the C5 rear suspension and it looks like it has an independant suspension. Why would Chevy revert back to a solid axel?

Also, Jeremey also noted when introducing the Holden Monaro into the comparision that the new Manaro came equipped with a 6.0L V8 while the C6 only had a 5.7L V8. I was pretty sure that the new Vette got the 6.0L motor unless Europe got an underpowered version.
