Sarcasm sadly doesn't work on here.

As opposed to the C5, where you have that stupid plate placeholder even if you don't have a plate?

2) Looks like a Japanese car, not a sleek evolution from the C5 like the C5 was from the C4. Looks stubby and with a short pug nose.
As opposed to the RX-7...er...I mean C5?

3) Ugly wart for a satellite radio antenna.
Welcome to satellite radio reception.

4) BAD matching hood to fender panels. Clear paint shade differences on several of the cars in the Kerbeck area.
Get your eyes checked.

5) Interior is a dupe of the C5. Steering wheel is butt ugly.
Dupe of the C5? Again, get your eyes checked. And the wheel is a matter of opinion, and we all know what opinions are like...

6) Shortened butt looks like a Japanese econobox.
Yeah, because Japanese econoboxes lack distinct bumpers and trunks on their rear ends. Oh yeah, and they have diffusers.

7) Backup lights too low behind bumper louvers are sure to be a problem.
Problem how? Being better able to see the road when backing up is a problem?

I was able to see a C6 and C5 almost in line from the side, the C5 is much more of a gorgeous car. We will be sacrificing the beauty of the C5 for a 12% HP increase. What a shame. The new orange color looks more bronze, and with low light looks brown.
Again, we all know what opinions are like...

I'm just trying to figure out why some people feel the need to devote an entire thread to their personal opinion when we already have a thread where everyone can post their opinion of the car. What, is your opinion that much more important that it needs its own thread?
