Now I know why!

Just saw a C6 advertisment and it looks like someone dropped a meat cleaver on the azz end and cut it off. Neverdid like the car now I know why

I was upset that they got rid of the hide away lights, but the C6 is growing on me and will probably have one down the road, hopefully a C7. I don't think I will let the C5 out of the family thought, best looking vette in my opinion except maybe the 70-72

Since the C6 came out in 05 aren't we just rehashing old comments here?

I like the popups too but the front looks like 'elbow ducts' and certain angles of the car makes it look a little dated. But there are, of course, other angles that are timeless.

I think the lines of the C6 coupe/Z06 are OK with the cut off rear. The verte however looks like it's missing a limb...

The C5 has beautiful styling and is a wonderful car in many other regards as well.
I prefer the C5 styling but I also think the C6 is very good looking car and a worthy successor.
I'm a happy and proud Vette owner when I'm driving either one of mine.

I loved the looks of my C5, but I see nothing wrong with the way the C6 looks. When I get my next one, it will be a tough choice between the C5 and C6 - hopefully I get one before the C7 comes out.

The new grand sport vert is growing on me. That is the first C-6 I would trade for.

I hate the round taillights! I think it would look better with the c5 style lights.

I still get many comments on whether my C5 is new

The C6 vert or coupe? No way. C6 Z06? Maybe.
The performance for the price is impossible to beat but still like the look of the C5 vs. the C6. C3 is cool too
