They did not mention the price. But I really like it. I did not like the photos. But when I saw the car, my jaw dropped. I couldn't turn from the tv. Looks real nice. They did a nice job. I even like the exposed headlamps.

It figures. I hated the C4 when I first saw the photos. Then I fell in love with it. I always liked the C5, from the moment I first saw it.

i saw a commercial about 2 hours ago for GM that had cars on a car carrier. on the top front was that c6 from the spy photos posted last month. is that the same commercial? i just caught it flipping through the channels so i only caught about 10 seconds of the commercial. still, spotted the c6 right away. from what i've seen, it looks more photogenic than the c-5. hope it's prettier in person too. not that the c-5 is ugly but i don't think it photographs well.

Corz: Did they SAY that price? That is rumor based on magazine info as far as I can tell. The two current rumors are $2000 more than the C5 and $60,000. We shall see. :)

If you guys want to join in on the praising/bashing here's another thread...

I saw the ad and se looked good. I agree that the C6 is more photogenic, especially in motion than the C5. Als What's up with that truck thing? Is that like a new El Camino, or what?

Funny - I see two posts on the C6 being on t.v.

Not only is this a :_dupe: , but I thought this was the C3 section.

I thought you guys were bitching about the amount of OT stuff in C3, so much so that it needed to be split.

Maybe we don't need a "C3 General" and a "C3 tech". We need a "C3" and a "too lazy to post / look in other sections where they belong"

I saw it about an hour ago. I did not know it was a vette until they showed the tail lights. Then I started excitedly calling to my wife "Look! Its the new vette! Its the new vette!" What a rush! :party:

Maybe a little OT - but much less than other posts.
How about this:
Wow - the C6 looks almost like a C3 - there - pertinent.
