I kinda like the way the C6 headlights look. Nice clean lines. I just still prefer the C5 over the C6 as a whole. It's a beautiful machine in so many ways.
What would be really nice is if they took the time and made a pop up with clean lines. Surely we have the technology for it by now.

closed they look great. its when they are open when it gets ugly. just bulky and out of place. do I think the depo style is better? yes. do I think they are the best. no way. but its still an improvement. but lets not call out ugly vettes. especially when yours has that stupid ugly roll bar.

I personally like the non pop ups. I like immitating the look of the C5R car, its a beautiful race car!
I also happen to have an aforementioned Fiero. I'm considering trying to make some custom non pop ups for it in the same style as the C5R. We'll see how those turn out this summer.

Actually this is kinda what I was talking about in a previous post on this thread. Imagine hidden headlights that popped up to these headlights. THAT would be the best of both worlds.
Someone needs to build that. *stares at Radioflyer*

Fixed headlights offer less parts to break and less weight. Important stuff to a lot of people.
