GM must have hired the guys that designed the first Tiburon, plenty of time to fire these guys and start all over again :lol:

It grows on me. I didn't like it when I saw it a few weeks back...but now, I like it. Maybe that's because I'm still tired from my day at work:

Go to work at 0730. Formal Brief. Study. Fly simulator mission. Fly jet. Study. Formal Release. Leave work at 1900.

Ah...it's the weekend, and they're paying me to fly! I love my job. :smash:

Just saw this. What do you guys think? I think I need one. :D
Hmmm, I think I too will keep mine. When the C5 used market becomes more stable, I'll hook up with one of them, but the C6? I need to think about it. :cheers:

If only that 'artist's rendering' was actually the C6 :lol:

Here's the link to vettemaan's post in C6. If this doesn't put it to rest, I don't know what would. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=335916

There are a lot more similarities there like mirrors, door handles, complete line of the car.

I hope this C6 is not THE C6

It reminds me of the new Z car. Personally, I think it looks like poopie. Do you see any hint of a corvette in there? (beside the emblem on the wheel)? They even messed up the lights in the back. If that is the new vette, I'll surely stick with a C3

I think I've seen better things on EBAY :lol: . I'm going to stay optimistic though, and believe that's not what the C6 will look like. It's just way too much like the Solstice.

Definately NOT!!! There is nothing distinguishing about it and from the article, it looks like a Mazda (the convertible model), or worse yet a HYUNDAI!!!

Actually it looks kind of like this:



I'll save my money and buy the Hyundai. It looks hotter!!! :rolleyes: At least it has a WING!!!!!!!!!

Where's the American styling for a car that's suppose to be an American icon????? I've read that GM is trying to increase the Corvette sales figures in Europe, and with this design I'd say their right on the money. By 2006 they'll probably be looking to compete in the high end ricer market as well by including an optional aluminum rear spoiler :confused:
