Default Front end poll

Now we've seen the front end that G.M. didn't want us to see as I've been saying all a long for obvious reasons. So lets vote and let and let the General know what we really think. :chevy

I'm mixed. Not a huge fan of the pictures, but in all fairness the C5 didn't really strike me until I was real close and/or behind the wheel and looked out at the hood.

I'll have to see one in person.

Corvette had gone in an exclusively Vette direction with the front end on the C4 and C5, but now have put a front on it that could go on any PONY car. :nonod:

The rest of the car I like but the front end is not what I had hoped for. It's funny because it looks good from some angles....but the front of the magazine cover leaves alot to be desired...... :eek: :eek:

I posted this in one of the other threads but... Why do GM cars resemble smiling faces? Reminds me of the Chevron cartoon cars.

The front of the car is nice...it is the rear of the car I need to really figure out if I care for it or not. Not sold on the plastic look around the exhaust and HUGE license plate area.

Because people were bitching about the visual size of the rear. Hell, some people were even painting their lower fascias black.
