Default C6 side view?
Am I the only one but does the tail end of the new c6 look kind of flat when looking at it from a direct side view? Like someone vetically axed off two inches from the rearend.

From all other angles the car looks auwsum, but this side view kind of makes it look a little stuby?

I played with the side view a little on a freinds photo chop program and by streching it out and rounding it up just a tinne, tinnie tiny bit does wonders for the look.

What do some of you guys think?

Not bashing the C6 it's an otherwise awsome machine. Very tempted to purchase the ZO6 C6 when it comes out.

The looks of the C6 was greatly debated (and still is) when it first came out.
And yes I agree, but its growing on me! I'm warming up to the new Z06 too!

Sorry, from my perspective, the C5 is much better looking from all angles.

I kinda felt the same way when the C5 first came out...that the butt was way to big and flat and that the car kinda looked 'fat' compared to the past gens...but it really grew on me...just give the new one time.

Maybe this should go in the C6 General area and not the C5 General area.

Wow, this is a first... a "I don't like the looks of the C6" thread. The fact is that the C6 is the current model, ours is not, and no amount of rationalisation is going to change that.
