I don't know but it doesn't look exotic....

I think the C5's look better looks meaner..

maybe it's the silver color but i think in black it would look better...

No matter how many photos I see of the C6, it just doesn't look as sleek as the C5. Maybe when I see one in person...

Sorry to say it but I'm having a problem with the front end too!! The rest
of the car is growing on me except for that. I feel confident one of the
first appearance mods for the C6 will be some sort of grill or insert to cover up or enhance the

I posted this on another site earlier this week :

Here's 3 cars that all have similarities...Go to the Viper forum and tell them a Viper looks like a Camaro and see what happens. Just because there are similarities, does NOT mean they look alike.

Corvette / Camaro

Corvette / Viper

I think the C6 looks fine as it is.

I'm sorry but the NEW Viper looks like a Dodge neon from the front. it doesn't look mean anymor elike the 2000 Viper GTS.

The new mustangs looks like a chick car it's not mean or aggressive looking.

The new vette looks like an average car doesn't do nothing for me on the pictures maybe if i see one in person ill like it.

but for now the C5 looks exotic sleeker and lower for some reason..

Maybe because this is the C5 forum. Seriously, I think a lot of people (me included) are finding reasons to keep their C5, even if it means nit-picking things like the frontend. The C6 is a badazz ride. I would love to have it sitting in my garage instead of my C5, but I just can't justify the $ right now.
