This I would pay 68k for...
Wandering around gminsidenews... one of the forum members there has a good idea - move the engine behind the cockpit in the C6 and redesign accordingly and presto - it isn't ugly anymore:

Sort of reminds me of the old Acura NSX with that long sloping rear window. But what do I know, I own a C5 and love it.

If GM did that with the shape their company is in now, that'd be the move that'd put them out of business for good.

Maybe...but it's fugly. Course, I'm happy with my C5 Z06 so it's not really a problem but I was going to buy a new one - until I saw it.

Interesting... everytime I see the C6 I think of a Honda too.
Gotta add that the Z16 up there is a very nice photo angle...sweet.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I love it. Wouldn't pay 68k for it, however.

IMO, the NSX has much nicer lines than the photo above.

The stock C6 is better looking than that.

Not ugly anymore? You're right - it's more like frighteningly ugly.
