LOVE IT!!!
That's how the new C6 should have looked like.
Not sure why GM changes basic styling cues every time a generation comes out.

I also like it. Some detail changes, particularly the side gills, and an *** tuck, but it is sweet.

I feel like the car needs something on the sides, it just seems so plain and flat. Otherwise I like it

I'll bet you aren't a J. Lo fan either.

I'd love to have one of those in LeMans Blue with the LS7 Z06 engine sitting next to my 69 in the garage. A pair of 427s. Sweet!

I wondered the same thing but to tell you the truth as cool as it looks, I don't care if aerodynamics were same as a brick.

From Alan:

"The pure side view, from a low angle, has a Ford GT 40 look to it. How'd that happen? "

Upon further review, it's the stripe!

Well, I think she is good looking. I wouldn't say I am a fan though. Her singing is OK to good, but I think she is a pretty terrible actress.

Ghetto wheels will never look right on a C3-ish body.

Now does anyone have connections with GM to get it done ? They should see the reactions from this C3 crowd.

They look like ghetto wheels on a C3 style body. The rest of the retro-styled cars are all doing the same thing, none of those classic bodies look right with the modern wheels. This is no exception.

So Ron, what's a "ghetto" wheel? Tampa has many "ghettos". Just curious.
