Default New Head Unit for C6

Let me preface this buy saying, that car audio is not my strong suit. I will be picking up my 2008 in September, and want to upgrade the audio system. My question is , do I have to use the same size head unit that comes with the car from the factory,like this one

or can I use a more traditional size head unit, like this


with some sort of cover plate? Excuse my ignorance.

but I think you will find the look of a double DIN head unit much better than a single DIN in an adapter plate.

with both points. Can be done, but double DIN looks so much better in the dash that it's worth the extra $$ to my mind.
