Not a big fan of either but if I had to choose B looks a whole lot better to me.

B seems to have a more complete, cohesive look to it, though personally I don't like either of them. IMO chrome accents just don't work well on the C5s purposeful, racy design.

My choice is C. The original. I could see a glaring hood ornament coming at you instead of a Vette.
But if you must choose....A

I think that "B" has a cleaner look to it. Something looks like it is missing from "A".
