Looks like a Euro sports car, Austin Martin v-12 I think is the model. I like it somewhat but it could be a little more original or gone the other way and been retro. I suppose if I had to I would drive it. :)

I'm sorry but it looks like it came right out of Japan. :( I if it has to compete with Cadillac it's gonna lose. They need to replace there designers.

Re: C6 Hot or Not? (Wightnite)
I has the shorter backend, like a C3. Where the driver sits just ahead of the rear wheels, and then there isn't much behind them..... that style I like. The fact that they got rid of that fat azz they had in the C5 in nice.
The front looks a little to "euro" to me. Needs to be more Vette like.
Why don't they just stuff a C5 chassis under an updated C3 style? That's what everyone wants !!!

I like my 78 better, and I also don't think this is the final version. I had always wished they would come out with the concept one they did awhile back, I think it was called a Stingray II or III, something like that.

Between those pictures and the ones AutoWeek published, I don't like it. It remains to be seen what it will really look like and how it looks in person. I hope it looks better than that. It looks too Japanese.

Looks like a freakin' Nissan, the new Z... doesn't look powerful or imposing like Vettes always have... I certianly hope they don't have all the facts straight..

Re: C6 Hot or Not? (FeedVaal)
If that's what it will look like, I'm definitely not impressed. I have to say that the styling of the Corvette has really taken a step backwords in recent years. Obviously, mechanically and from a performance standpoint, it is still an excellent car.
With this new styling, we're sure to hear immediate complaints from C1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s about the C6s not waving. It's going to attract a completely different crowd of buyers, most of which will not be enthusiasts.

Re: C6 Hot or Not? (FeedVaal)
They'd have to pay me before I'd buy one. I don't care for it. My money is on the 2004 GTO.
:D , the front end looks to cutsie for my taste.
