I need take nothing because I don't have the bug.
I like 3 of the 4 views of the C6... cant stand the front view.
Some say "you'll get use to it" or "It will grow on you". For me, all those mean is that a person eventually lowers their standards... which ain't gonna happen with me. Dave Hill screwed up big time... allowing that front design to be chosen.
And for those ready to pounce on me about "you just don't like exposed headlights"... t'ain't true. I like C5's that have been converted over to non pop-ups.

I agree with Tim - I just can't get over that wide mouth gape toothed grin. I will never forget the Z06 Pace Car from Indy last year....that just about sealed the deal for me.
Nope - keep your C5, that's what I plan to do.

Hell. were is John Cafaro when you need him. I dont' like much about this car. I will keep what I have and hope that GM comes up with a better C7. by the way, are C6's selling like the C5?

I've been thinking about it, but so far have resisted. Still like my C5 too much I guess.

You have a beautiful car! I agree, I don't care for the C6 styling and it has not grown on me. Still think the C5 body lines are much better than the C6.

C6 
Like the power and the rear Z06 flares
But IMO C5 style is the all time best looking vette
It would like to buy a new vette just to get NCM delivery option
Not gonna happen on the C6. I may just get another C5

Haha, funny is it seems the only people that don't like the C6 looks are C5 owners 
The C6 got my attention right away, I loved the fixed lights (HID's can't be beat) the 100x better looking rear (just needed a few curves and shorter). The sharper lines of the car add a nice retro touch while at the same time staying current with modern car design. The C5 looks dated, the rounded lines scream 90's styling....not to mention the interior design which didn't change much during it's entire run and was always a disapointment since it's launch in 97.
IMO the C6 will age much better over time, it'll look fresh and modern for years to come both on the outside and inside.
