It is because you are used to the C6 and you don't notice the fenders as much.

Now after 17 months I think the fenders have become much flatter, It's just doesn't seem the same. Is it just me or have other forum members noticed the change?

First time I thought I was in the Batmobile. Still love it though it doesn't feel like the "Batmobile"

When I first test drove the c6 I was not use to the fenders, length and width of the car but after having it for a month I'm starting to get use to it now.
