I saw one 2 weeks ago on I-95 in all places Bangor, Maine. Maybe it'll grow on me but it didn't have that bang affect I got when I saw my first C5.

Let's remember that the C6 guys are VERY proud of their new Corvettes. Since styling is very subjective, a few kudos in the name of 'Corvette Brotherhood' would go a long way.

It's good that it's not better looking than the C5. It Will hold the C5's value very strong!

I've heard that instead of it depreciating this year it will actually go up in value 5-10%

Yep, I've seen 'em too. They are very nice and I'm sure they perform well but after all this time staring at C6's in person and in tons of pics and videos, the design is just not winning me over. Like many others, I'm hoping there are enough running changes in the generation model yearsto change my mind. Or, hopefully the Z06 will be different enough to make me want to get one.

Course, who says we HAVE to like or buy the next generation? Waiting for C7 might be enough for me as I've always wanted a C2 and a C3. Those and my C5 would certainly keep me busy for a long time.

I can't get over the profile, looks like a 4x4 to me, but I'll continue to wave to the people that like that car... They are still part of the family.. ever had a relative that wasn't quite as good looking as you?

Hey everyone! I have not seen one yet on the road, etc. The first one that hit Tom's dealership was in Yellow...I love that color! I forget which other colors are scheduled to arrive...Tom said the interior was great on the C6.

Anyway for me, love my Red 04 and not parting with it---it's so me!
