I could be wrong but I believe I read elsewhere that these pictures were done 2-3 years ago, a lifetime in GM years.

Some pretty hard lines. Seem to be trying to look like a Lambo maybe. I still like it though my favorite might still be the C5.

When I called up the web site, it says that the picture is a 2011.

I guess I will dare to be different.

I like it!

The face is an improvement but what the 'ell didn't the bailout cover enough to complete the design work. Never thought I'd say this but GM should hire some of Hyundai's and Kia's design staff.

gm could take some ques from Chrysler - while i dont like the chrysler products and quality they have done a great job in styling the last few years ( RAM p/u, viper, chargers, etc etc even the 300 srt8 is a nice looking car)GM is a day late and a dollar slow the C5 will stand the test of time ( check out all the long lasting designs E type Jag Lambo Muira Dussenbergs etc etc - they all have soft round flowing lines )but nothing else they have come out with is that outstanding design wise.

A picture is only a picture, but personally, I think I like it... have to actually see one in person though........ it's like some C6's look really good, and they make me want to go out and trade up, but then some don't and I decide to keep my C5.... I think I like the C7, too bad I'm broke and will likely be broker by the time they come out.......

Not a bad pic for a cartoon. Looks like a C6 with a body kit.

When the C6 was in development ... the Pratt & Miller race team had a lot of input into it's design, to help with the next generation of GT race car ... I would assume that a similar program is in place to help the GT2 effort be as sucessful as possible, by exploiting the ACO - FIA rules for GT2 Class cars (they must resemble the street version of the car, more than the GT1 cars).

During the Powell Motorsport - Lou Gillotti day ... John and Lou were talking about the rear drag and turbulance that was causing issues with the rear spoiler ... maybe this new rearend is designed to remove some of that turbulance and drag, yet still deliver good downforce.
