As far as the C6 goes I wasn't impressed with its looks, until the other day. Seen a dark blue mettalic coupe, and was it sharp looking.
I think what was throwing it off was the headlights on the others that I have seen. They just kind of make themselves noticed, before you noticed anything else. The dark blue didn't headlights didn't stick out like that. I thought it was a C4 for a few seconds, before I got closer to it.

I have pictures of the 1988 Geneva Show car which ASR built on a 1986 c4 Chasis
It is, as far as I can tell, the twin of the C6

ld85-is that your setup in that pic? holy cow,i could get rid of my tv,stereo,computer,wife,you name it! i would be content to just sit in a chair with a cold beer and stare at that car.all my friends could come over and we would all sit in silence staring at that car.beautiful.
the c6 is really a good looking car when you get a good look at one on the showroom floor.ive been shopping around a little lately,checking out all the offerings from gm,ford,and chrysler.
theres nothing that compares to the c6 package when you start looking at build quality and the suspension components etc that are on the new vettes.and for the money,well lets just say i really feel sorry for anyone who bought a new c5 last year.the c6 is quite an improvement and it bases out cheaper.go figure.
the one thing i just cannot understand is what were they thinking when they fitted those mirrors to the c6?
its look a hot chick with great big ears.
another thing i was wondering when i viewed karas post was notice the garden hose laying there and then look at the neighbors house.do you suppose his taxes are gonna go up one day?
Kara,you have a nice looking car and its neat to see a girl really taking pride in her ride.not that its rare on this forum,but it is neat.

Interesting how when Darth brings this up everyone flames, but when the "forum's female" says the same thing, we have a civil conversation about it. Interesting how that works, eh?
Anyway yeah, it's obvious that GM will change it enough to make it different, not enough to make it like before, but will still take cues from older ones for "heritage" and recognition.
To me, no it doesn't look any more liek a C4 then it does a C5. They have similar lines, depending on the body panel in question - and simlarities can be found to each generation if you look hard enough.
