Is that a Stingray for the Fender Badge??? I agree with the other comments, the rear looks too bulky and cumbersome... it just doesn't flow.

It might grow on me. I'm not a big fan of the angular lines.

sort of. I'm not sure it will grow on me.

The angular lines are what I don't like about the C6. And they are also what I don't like about the new Camaro.

I'm probably doomed to stay in my C5 forever,,, could be worse.

But there IS a lot of difference.

The *** end on a C5 looks WAY BETTER than a C6. The C6's *** end looks like they didn't finish it off. It looks as if they gave a swift kick in the *** for a location to put the license plate.

Nice looking concept, but that's all it is. The greenhouse looks like you'd be peering out the turret of a tank -- not what I want in a sportscar...
