Default "the wait is over"

just received my february,'04 issue of "auto world magazine",and lo and behold the cover is a 3/4 frontal shot of the C6!!!inside...4 pages of text and pix of full frontal,full butt shot,and interior shot through the driver's side.i re-read the article accompanying the photos expecting the usual conceptualization of what we already know re:computer generation,etc;no where to be found!!color must be that new orange/ginger-like paint.sorry about no pix to pass along;i don't have the capability!!!the text of the article was written as though the NAIA show in january had already occurred!!! honestly,i'm not sure if thiswhole thing is valid or not;but,it's the best shots by far if they aren't bogus!!!couple of tidbits are:optional heated seats,push-button start(ala XLR).voice-activated dvd navigation,xm satellite radio,18s in front-19s aft.the one thing that really leads me to question the veracity of this entire piece is that they're saying that the C6 is "less nimble than Malibu sedan"!!!take this for whatever you think it's worth!!! :steering:

I think GM just pulled all of Auto World Magazine's Christmas presents from under the tree.

just one man's opinion...but,the front is disappointing,the butt is nice,side profile acceptable,and the interior shot is not that impressive.overall,as of this viewing,i still prefer the C5!!! :steering:
