Take those funky looking things from the back bumper cover, and I will like it even more.

I like it! But I wonder how much more it's going to cost above the price of the C6.

I agree I like the car but I'm not so keen with the phony chrome bumpers, especially the one on the back.

Yes I like the look of that red one a lot more than the ones with the bumpers. I'd buy that car. (as long as it doesn't cost more than my house )

Okay.....have to admit I really like that....great combo of various generations...but.....

The side gills cut off right at the door seam and the rear brake vents do too. ....this makes the doors look totally barren....plain...not attractive.

So, I would suggest including the amazing side vents of the C5 in some variation that fits ....anything to make the doors look like a part of the design.

The only other thing is rear visibility problems in traffic....

Otherwise.....I so likey....
