It's a little bit of a stretch, but if you look quickly and turn away you might mistake this for a C5

If anything, the boys at GM should take styling Q's from this bad boy for the upcoming C7

I think it's funny that Ferrari got their styling cues off a C6!

I looked away a few times, and I don't see a C5, maybe a C6.

Forget about fixing it, how about the $3000 oil change?
