Default Interesting flash back

Just ran across this pic of a camouflaged C5:

In looking at that and then how the C5 came out makes you realize that it is almost imposable to tell anything about the C6 from the pics that are now out except the roofline :)

Great picture! Puts a lot into perspective!

Amazing detail you can get from this picture though - the roofline, the curve of the fenders, the shape of the glass hatchback, etc.


Thanks for sharing!

Excelent shot Tom. But I looks as though the cammo division has an even bigger budget for the C6, than they did for the C5.

Interesting.

In contrast to the Jim Dunne spy photos, it appears they have added camo to the doors to hide the side vent lines and across the top of the rear you can see 4 "spacers" that raise the visual height and helps to hide the actual hard line crease.

Notice how you can't even tell the lines of the side vents. :cool:

By the way, aren't those the 1997 production wheels on that Pilot? See a pattern here?
