Did the show Inform and Entertain? Those are the hallmarks of a decent show. For most on this forum the information was old news BUT for the rest of the viewing planet, probably not! Never, Ever dismiss good publicity as it always helps in the long run.

the show was good. It showed all the work that is involved with designing and developing a car.
I did wonder how they fixed the liftback not closing problem and some of the other things that jsut did not fit correctly.

Stayed up way beyond my bedtime to watch this show...They as much as admitted that the C6 is designed to appeal to the European driver with its length the same as the new Porsche...Oh well.
I suppose that with time, we'll all get used to its looks and want one.
Did anybody besides me notice that for the first 3/4's of the show, they did not show the front end much at all? And of course when they did finally show it, it had no place for a license plate...

I think I am going to move to Germany, just to drive on the Autoban at 175mph 
I went 2 times in highschool , but didn't drive, we were on a tour bus 
I especially thought it was interesting that the sneaky journalist put his kids through college with photos from cars before they were released or introduced... 50k for a sneak peak at the new C6 before it went public
Very cool show

It was so old news. I started reading about & seeing those test mules more than 9 months ago on magazine covers. I was hoping to get something a bit more current with finished examples on display and rung through the mill. Maybe even a side by side with the C5. Guess that will be a show for Motor Trend TV.

It was a very well put together show. I espesially liked the guy trying to take the spy photos...you know that GM secretly likes this guy, I mean these spy photo guys create ALOT of excitement and stir up the community.
